Helping Paws: Shepherds, terriers and Chihuahuas

By Elizabeth Larson | Jan. 11, 2015

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – It's once again mostly big dogs up for adoption at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.

Offered are dogs that include mixes of Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, mastiff and pit bull terrier.

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 .
