Helping Paws: Terriers, hounds and more
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – If you're looking for a puppy or an older dog to join your family this summer, stop by Lake County Animal Care and Control.
This week's dogs include terrier of various types, and beagle, Chihuahua and hound mixes, ranging in age from 12 weeks to 6 years.
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 .
