By Elizabeth Larson | Apr 21, 2019
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control continues to have a big selection of dogs available to new homes this week.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of bluetick coonhound, Chihuahua, dachshund, Great Pyrenees, heeler, Jack Russell Terrier, Labrador Retriever, pit bull, redbone coonhound, shepherd and Shih Tzu.

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”).
