LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Labs, shepherds, an Alaskan Malamute and a boxer named “Rosie” who urgently needs a new home are among the dogs waiting for homes this week at Lake County Animal Care and Control.
Canines offered for adoption this week include mixes of Alaskan Malamute, border collie, boxer, Catahoula Leopard Dog, Doberman Pinscher, foxhound, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever and pit bull.
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.
