Helping Paws: Lab, husky and pit bull mixes

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a bunch of big dogs waiting for their new homes.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of husky, Labrador Retriever, pit bull, heeler and Shar Pei.

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.

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”).
