Helping Paws: New dogs available; four Sulphur fire dogs still waiting to be reclaimed

By Elizabeth Larson | Nov. 5, 2017
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a new group of dogs available for adoption along with the four Sulphur fire dogs waiting to be reclaimed.

The dogs taken in from the Sulphur fire are at the top of the featured listings; they will not be up for adoption to the general public until mid-November in order to give their owners the opportunity to reclaim them.

The dogs in the general shelter population available for adoption this week include mixes of Chihuahua, German Shepherd, pit bull, 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.

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”).
