LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A group of new puppies has joined the available dogs at Lake County Animal Care and Control.
The dogs needing homes this week include mixes of German Shepherd, pit bull, Labrador Retriever, terrier, Boxer and more.
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.
