Helping Paws: More summer dogs

By Elizabeth Larson | Jul 7, 2013

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – More new dogs have arrived at the county’s animal shelter and are being offered for adoption this week.

Mixed breed dogs with Pomeranian, dachshund, Chihuahua, pit bull, chow chow, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, boxer and pointer ancestry are waiting for new homes.

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 .
