LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care has more new dogs this week available for adoption.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of Australian Cattle Dog, border collie, Dalmatian, Great Pyrenees husky, Labrador Retriever, pit bull and heeler.

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”).
