LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has several new dogs needing homes this week.
The adoptable canines include a wide variety of mixes – Chihuahua, Labrador Retriever, boxer, shepherd, pit bull and even poodle – and range in age from 13 weeks to 4 years.
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.
