Helping Paws: Seven waiting dogs
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has seven dogs waiting to go to loving homes this week.
Dogs available this week include mixes of boxer, Chihuahua, hound, pit bull and shepherd.
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 .
