Helping Paws: Dogs needing homes - Christmas edition

By Lake County News Reports | Dec. 24, 2017
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is offering six dogs this holiday week for adoption, some decked out in festive style.

The dogs offered adoption this week include mixes of Alaskan Malamute, husky, pit bull and shepherd.

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”).
