Helping Paws: Labs, terriers and puppies
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Blue-eyed puppies and soulful labs are among the dogs available for adoption at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.
The dogs range in age from 11 weeks to 4 years, and are mixes of Chihuahua, boxer, mastiff, American Bulldog, American Staffordshire Terrier 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.
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 .
