Helping Paws: Mutts galore
LAKEPORT, Calif. – Springtime is seeing a full house at Lake County’s animal shelter.
A number of mixed breed puppies, young dogs and older dogs are ready to frolic in the springtime sunshine with their new families.
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.
