LAKEPORT, Calif. – “Cache” has had a rough 2015.
The big dog, which Lake County Animal Care and Control said is a Leonberger mix, was found in the Jerusalem fire area by firefighters over the summer.
When he was first brought into the shelter, he had a severe skin condition and maggots burrowing into his flesh, staff reported.
He was adopted earlier this year but then returned due to an issue with a cat.
Cache is a large guy, and estimated to weigh 150 pounds, and is neutered.
He has a short black and tan coat that is growing back in thanks to his skin treatments.
Cache has big brown eyes, floppy ears and a rather laid-back, mellow demeanor. He's sweet and friendly, and takes treats gently.
The ideal home for him would not have cats, but would offer him a chance to hang out with people and be a couch potato.
He's in kennel No. 11, ID No. 3101. Photo courtesy of Lake County Animal Care and Control.
Along with Cache there are many other dogs needing homes at the shelter, which is full as the year draws to a close.
