LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Young dogs from the working breeds are waiting for adoption at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.
The dogs range in age from 10 weeks to 6 years, and include mixes of German Shepherd, heeler, hound, pit bull and even a Chihuahua.
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.
