LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a big group of dogs, many of them working breeds, who need homes this week.
The dogs range in age from 9 months to 3 years, and include mixes of Doberman Pinscher, Shih Tzu, shepherd, pit bull and Catahoula Leopard Dog.
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.
