Helping Paws: ‘Dollar Bill,’ ‘Soy,’ ‘Bear’ and the dogs

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has several new dogs up for adoption this week.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of boxer, Chihuahua, dachshund, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever and pit bull.

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.
