LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control once again has a wide variety of dogs needing new homes.
The available dogs this week include mixes of border collie, Chihuahua, Great Dane, hound, husky, Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler and pit bull.
There also are several strays picked up from the Clayton fire area that are being held for 30 days in order to reunite them 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.
The following dogs at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter have been cleared for adoption (additional dogs on the animal control Web site not listed are still “on hold”).
