Helping Paws: Poodles, shepherds and terriers

By Elizabeth Larson | Dec. 7, 2014

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control's kennels are full this week with another group of dogs of all types.

Dogs featured this week are mixes of American Bulldog, basset hound, boxer, Chihuahua, dachshund, hound, Jack Russell terrier, Labrador Retriever, pit bull, poodle and shepherd.

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 .
