Helping Paws: Shepherds, terriers and Great Danes

By Elizabeth Larson | Jan. 18, 2015

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a big group of big dogs set for adoption this week.

Dogs available to new homes include mixes of border collie, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Labrador Retriever, pit bull, Pomeranian and 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 .
