How to resolve AdBlock issue? 
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Looking for a big dog to take on hikes and trips around the county and beyond? Or a little canine pal to hang out on the couch?
Lake County Animal Care and Control has a large selection of dogs this week to fit all kinds of lifestyles.
Dogs available for adoption include mixes of Chihuahua, dachshund, Doberman Pinscher, Labrador Retriever, pit bull, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Shar Pei, shepherd and terrier.
Low adoption fees are offered for some of the dogs.
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.
