Helping Paws: Boxers, pit bulls and retrievers
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – If you're looking for midsized and larger dogs, stop by Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.
The dogs offered this week include mixes of boxer, Chihuahua, corgi, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, pit bull and retriever.
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.
