How to resolve AdBlock issue? 
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a shelter filled with mostly large dogs – and a few little dogs, too – needing new homes.
This week's adoptable dogs are mixes of Alaskan Malamute, Belgian Malinois, boxer, Labrador Retriever, mastiff, pug, rat terrier, shepherd, terrier and pit bull.
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.
