Helping Paws: Retrievers, mastiffs and Chihuahuas

By Elizabeth Larson | Nov. 25, 2018
LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is offering nearly two dozen dogs of all kinds for adoption as the week gets started.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of American Bulldog, cane corso, chow, Chihuahua, dachshund, Labrador Retriever, pit bull, 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”).
