Helping Paws: Terriers, labs and shepherds
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a big new group of dogs available for adoption this week.
The dogs range in age from 11 months to 3 years, and include Chihuahua mixes to larger breeds, including mastiff and German Shepherd
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.
