LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has five dogs, a mix of big and little, waiting to meet new families this week.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of boxer, cattle dog, Chihuahua, terrier and pit bull.

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”).
