Helping Paws: Shepherds, terriers and a husky

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has six dogs that are cleared to go to new homes as this week begins.

The dogs available this week include mixes of border collie, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, husky, Labrador Retriever, shepherd 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.
