Helping Paws: Great Pyrenees, retrievers and Labradors

By Elizabeth Larson | Jul 10, 2016

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a big, diverse group of dogs needing homes this week.

This week's available dogs include mixes of Alaskan Malamute, border collie, boxer, Corgi, dachshund, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Great Pyrenees, Labrador Retriever, McNab, pit bull, pointer 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.

The following dogs at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter have been cleared for adoption (additional dogs on the animal control Web site not listed are still “on hold”).
