LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a great group of dogs available to new homes this week.
Ready to find their new families are mixes of border collie, Chihuahua, Great Dane, pit bull, poodle, retriever, shepherd and terrier.
The dogs are well-mannered, temperament tested and will be fitted to the right homes.
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.
