Helping Paws: New dogs for the new year

By Lake County News Reports | Dec. 31, 2017
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has five dogs ready to go to new homes as the new year starts.

The dogs offered adoption this week include mixes of Labrador Retriever, 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”).
