Helping Paws: Terriers, a hound and a mastiff
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – There are a variety of big working dogs and little dogs waiting for homes at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.
This week's dogs include mixes of border collie, cattle dog, hound, husky, mastiff pit bull and terrier.
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 .
