LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control's kennel is filled this week with dogs of all sizes and ages that need loving homes.
The dogs include mixes of terrier, Labrador Retriever, hound, Chihuahua, pit bull, boxer and Rottweiler.
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 .
