Helping Paws: A big bunch of dogs
LAKEPORT, Calif. – With the arrival of the new year there is a big bunch of dogs available for adoption at the county’s animal shelter.
Canines of many breeds, types and sizes are available for those wanting to begin 2013 with a new addition to their family.
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.
