LAKEPORT, Calif. – The year 2013 is kicking off with a whole bunch of new year’s puppies at the shelter.
Young Chihuahua, Jack Russell terrier, hound and other mixes are now waiting for new homes.
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.
