Helping Paws: Pups and pits
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – This week Lake County Animal Care and Control once more has several large dogs awaiting adoption.
The dogs this week primarily are pit bull mixes, with shepherd mix and kelpie mixes also needing new homes. They range in age from 14 weeks to 3 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.
In addition to the animals featured here, all adoptable animals in Lake County can be seen here: http://bit.ly/Z6xHMb .
