Helping Paws: Shepherds, pit bulls and husky mixes

By Elizabeth Larson | Oct. 7, 2018
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is offering a group of mixed-breed dogs this week.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of German Shepherd, husky, Labrador Retriever, pit bull and Rottweiler.

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”).
