By Elizabeth Larson | Jun 7, 2015

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is offering another wide variety of dogs to new homes this week.

This week's dogs feature mixes of Airedale, Australian Shepherd, border collie, boxer, cattle dog, Chihuahua, fox terrier, Jack Russell terrier, Labrador Retriever, pit bull, Schnauzer, shepherd 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 .
