LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a selection of dogs from working and hunting breeds this week.
The dogs available this week include mixes of border collie, Catahoula Leopard Dog, Chihuahua, German Shorthaired Pointer, hound, Labrador Retriever and pit bull.
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.
