Helping Paws: A variety of mixed breed dogs

By Elizabeth Larson | Dec. 1, 2013

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A new group of young mixed breed dogs is available for adoption at Lake County Care and Control this week.

Lab, Chihuahua, shepherd and Dalmatian mixes, and even a puggle are waiting to meet you.

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 .
