Helping Paws: A shelter full of dogs
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control's shelter is full of dogs of all types needing homes.
Puppies and adults, with mixes including basset hound, border collie, boxer, Chihuahua, hound, Labrador Retriever, terrier, pit bull and Welsh Corgi, are available.
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 .
