LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control's shelter is full of dogs and puppies needing homes this week.
The dogs range in age from 11-week-old puppies up to 10 years, with mixes of poodle, heeler, American Bulldog, pit bull, boxer, shepherd Catahoula Leopard Dog, terrier, Shih Tzu, Rottweiler and golden retriever.
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.
