CLEARLAKE, Calif. — Clearlake City Council members met one of this week’s adoptable dogs and heard a report from the animal shelter on Thursday night.

Clearlake Police Lt. Martin Snyder gave the council an update on adoption numbers year to date.

So far in 2024, the city’s animal shelter has taken in 187 dogs. Of those, 164 have left, with 17 going to rescue, 136 returning home, nine were adopted and two being euthanized, for a live release rate of 98.6%, Snyder said.

At that point, Snyder said there were 46 dogs in the shelter, including 43 dogs and three puppies.

Year to date, they have issued 88 microchips and 56 free vaccinations, Snyder said.

On Thursday night, the Clearlake City Council also met “Turbo,” a male Belgian malinois mix looking for his forever home, who made a special trip to the council chambers.

Shelter staff said Turbo has done well with all of the dogs he’s met.

The Clearlake Animal Control website lists 38 adoptable dogs.

Other dogs available this week include “Jasmine,” a 6-month-old Parson Russell terrier mix with a white coat.

Also available is “Cutie Pie,” a female pit bull terrier mix with a bronze and brindle coat.
