Helping Paws: Lots of little dogs
LAKEPORT, Calif. – The county’s animal shelter this week has several small dogs available for adoption.
Chihuahua, Pomeranian and Yorkshire Terrier mixes – all of which fit comfortably on one’s lap – are the featured small breeds. To make sure the big dogs are represented, a Shar Pei-Laborador Retriever mix also is available.
Thanks to Lake County Animal Care and Control’s new veterinary clinic, many of the animals offered for adoption already are spayed or neutered and ready to go home with their new families.
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.
The following dogs at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter have been cleared for adoption (additional dogs on the animal control Web site not listed are still “on hold”).
