LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Care and Control has a large group of dogs ready and waiting for adoption.
This week's available dogs include mixes of American Staffordshire Terrier, Chihuahua, dachshund, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, pit bull and terrier.
For those looking for lost pets as a result of the Valley fire, visit the Lake County Animal Care and Control Web site, which features additional dogs and cats that officials are looking to reunite with their families.
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 .
