Clearlake Animal Control: Evander, Ivy, Kira, Paco, Poppy and Robbie
The available dogs are Evander, Ivy, Kira, Paco, Poppy and Robbie.
To meet the animals, call Clearlake Animal Control at 707-994-8201 and speak to Marcia at Extension 103 or call Extension 118, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday, or leave a message at any other time.
‘Evander’
“Evander” is a 1-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix who has an all-black coat and weighs about 45 pounds.
He is good with both children and adults, and shelter staff said they are currently working on his socializing skills.
Evander is healing nicely from wounds “inflicted by a female dog in heat when she denied his unwanted advances,” shelter staff reported.
‘Ivy’
“Ivy” is a 2- to 3-year-old female husky mix that weighs about 45 pounds.
She is good with other dogs and people.
An assessment of her found her energetic and wanting to play with other dogs, and also loving attention from people.
Her adopter will be offered four free sessions with a socialization playgroup.
‘Kira’
“Kira” is a 2-year-old female Husky mix, weighing about 45 pounds.
Shelter staff said a dominating and assertive female, which is true to her breed. She responds well to other dogs and made appropriate corrections when necessary. She would be stable with other stable dogs.
Kira is very smart, sweet and vocal, and shelter staff suggested she would do best with an experienced husky household.
‘Paco’
“Paco” is a 1- to 2-year-old male Chihuahua mix, weighing 12 pounds and with a short brown coat.
Shelter staff said he is good with other dogs, as well as older, respectful children. He is a little shy at first but warms up quickly. He may need a housetraining refresher.
“Paco would love to be an armchair companion, with a quick walk or two and his life would be complete,” according to staff. “He is fun-sized, making him an easy keeper.”
Paco is vaccinated and ready for adoption.
‘Poppy’
“Poppy” is a calm, lovable year-and-a-half-old shepherd mix, weighing 40 pounds.
She is good with other dogs; shelter staff said she is a dominant female and has taken corrections appropriately when introduced to or playing with other dogs.
They said she also is a little insecure and needs some confidence building; practicing skills will make her a good solid dog.
She is recommended for a home without small livestock.
‘Robbie’
“Robbie” is a young and happy-go-lucky mix – possibly Labrador Retriever and Rottweiler.
Shelter staff said is he around a year and a half old and weighs 50 pounds.
He walks well on a leash, makes friends with other dogs, and is playful but not super active.
Robbie is vaccinated, was neutered and had a full dental cleaning.
He recently was diagnosed with heartworm, so he is undergoing treatment. If adopted or taken to rescue, he will need a quiet place to recover.
