LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has an eclectic new group of dogs available for adoption this week.
You can find small or large dogs, from Chihuahuas to terriers, and mastiff, pit bull, heeler and shepherd mixes.
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 .
