Helping Paws: More new dogs

By Elizabeth Larson | May 5, 2013

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A new group of dogs of various breeds and sizes is available for adoption this week at Lake County Animal Care and Control.

Big dogs, little dogs, medium-sized dogs, most spayed or neutered, are ready to join your family.

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”).

In addition to the animals featured here, all adoptable animals in Lake County can be seen here: http://bit.ly/Z6xHMb .
