LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Several large dogs are available for adoption at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.
The dogs are mixes of Labrador Retriever, pit bull, beagle, hound and Shar Pei, and range in age from 11 weeks to 6 years.
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.
