Helping Paws: New pups and dogs

By Elizabeth Larson | Jun 16, 2013

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A big group of shepherd mix puppies are joining a variety of other mixed-breed dogs available at the Lake County animal shelter this week.

In addition to the shepherds, there are Labrador Retrievers, Shap Peis and a German Shepherd, boxer and fox terrier mixes, and more in a variety of sizes, ages and temperaments.

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 .

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”).
