Helping Paws: Retrievers, a border collie and a husky
This week’s available dogs include mixes of border collie, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, husky, Labrador Retriever, miniature pinscher and pit bull.
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.
The following dogs at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter have been cleared for adoption (additional dogs on the animal control Web site not listed are still “on hold”).
Male retriever mix
This male retriever mix has a short red and white coat.
Shelter staff said he has already been altered, and he sits on command. He is well-mannered and would do best with children ages 12 and above. He was assessed with other dogs and did fine, not growling or fighting, but does exhibit dominant behavior.
He already has been altered.
He’s in kennel No. 5, ID No. 7970.
‘Tiki’

She’s in kennel No. 6, ID No. 8054.
Female German Shepherd
