Helping Paws: Little and big dogs

By Elizabeth Larson | Nov. 10, 2013

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has several large and small breed dogs available to go to new homes this week.

The dogs include Labrador Retriever, boxer and pit bull mixes, as well as mixes of Chihuahua and Pomeranian. They range in age from 11 weeks to 3 years.

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 .
