How to resolve AdBlock issue? 
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The official start of summer is just around the corner, and it's a great time to adopt a canine companion.
Want a dog to enjoy hikes, trips on the lake or walks in the neighborhood? Chances are the local shelter or the county's many rescue groups have just the dog for you and your family.
In addition to the animals featured here, all adoptable animals in Lake County can be seen here: http://bit.ly/Z6xHMb .
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”).
