Helping Paws: Pit bull, German Shepherd, husky and hound mixes

By Lake County News Reports | Mar 8, 2020
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control’s dogs available for adoption this week include adults of different breeds.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of American Staffordshire Terrier, border collie, dachshund, German Shepherd, hound, husky, Jack Russell Terrier, 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.
