Helping Paws: Shepherds, Chihuahuas and terriers

By Elizabeth Larson | Aug. 20, 2017
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – There’s a big group of dogs at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week waiting to meet their new families.

The dogs available this week include mixes of border collie, Chihuahua, dachshund, German Shepherd, husky, Labrador Retriever, shepherd, Shih Tzu, pit bull terrier 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”).
