LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is holding an adoption event this week, featuring a number of dogs ready for new homes.
You can take home a dog with the county adoption fee waived through this Friday, April 26.
Females dogs cost $131 to $146, depending on size, which affects spaying costs; with total fees for males totaling $121.
Those costs include spaying and neutering, microchipping, vaccinations and a county license. License fees do not apply to residents of the cities of Lakeport or Clearlake.
