Helping Paws: Chihuahuas, boxers and Rottweiler puppies

By Elizabeth Larson | May 1, 2016

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control this week has a number of dogs of various breeds including Chihuahuas, boxers, pit bulls and a litter of adorable Rottweiler mix puppies needing homes.

The available dogs this week include mixes of boxer, Chihuahua, corgi, Labrador Retriever, pit bull, retriever, Rottweiler and shepherd.

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 .
