LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – This week at Lake County Animal Care and Control several big dogs and some small ones, too, are waiting for homes, just in time to kick off the summer with new families.
Dogs available this week to new homes include mixes of Chihuahua, Doberman Pinscher, Labrador Retriever, pit bull and terrier.
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.
In addition to the animals featured here, all adoptable animals in Lake County can be seen here: http://bit.ly/Z6xHMb .
