LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Several new puppies have joined the adult dogs being offered for adoption this week at the county’s animal shelter.
Pug, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, pit bull, boxer, pointer and Labrador Retriever mixes are available ranging from 10 weeks to 3 and a half years of age.
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 .
The following dogs at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter have been cleared for adoption (additional dogs on the animal control Web site not listed are still “on hold”).
