LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Control has a remaining fire dog and several new dogs needing homes this week.
Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of German Shepherd, hound, husky, Labrador Retriever, McNab, pit bull, Rottweiler, terrier and Shiba Inu.
One of the dogs featured is Winston, the last of the dogs taken in during the Mendocino Complex.
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.
