Helping Paws: Shepherds, hounds and retrievers

By Elizabeth Larson | May 8, 2016

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has another varied selection of dogs this week needing new homes.

This week's available dogs include mixes of border collie, boxer, German Shepherd, hound, Labrador Retriever, pit bull, Pomeranian, retriever and Shar Pei.

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 .
