LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a full shelter of dogs this week that will be offered for adoption at lower rates thanks to one of its regular adoption events.
This week's adoptable dogs include mixes of American Bulldog, border collie, boxer, cattle dog, Chihuahua, Doberman, German Shepherd, hound, Labrador Retriever, terrier and pit bull.
Lake County Animal Care and Control is adopting out dogs this week with a $50 discount – waiving the county adoption fee portion and costs for microchipping. There will will be costs for spaying and neutering dogs.
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 .
