LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Many new dogs are awaiting adoption at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.
The dogs offered for adoption this week include mixes of Chihuahua, cocker spaniel, pit bull terrier, Shar pei and terrier.
For those looking for lost pets as a result of the Valley fire, visit the Lake County Animal Care and Control Web site, which features additional dogs and cats that officials are looking to reunite with their families.
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.
