LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has another mix of big and little dogs available this week for adoption.
Mixes of Australian Shepherd, German Shepherd, dachshund, Chihuahua, pit bull and border collie, ranging in age from 4 months to 8 years, are in need of new homes.
Dogs that are adopted from Lake County Animal Care and Control are either neutered or spayed, microchipped and, if old enough, given a rabies shot and county license before being released to their new owner. License fees do not apply to residents of the cities of Lakeport or Clearlake.
If you're looking for a new companion, visit the shelter. There are many great pets hoping you'll choose them.
