Helping Paws: Boxer, pit bull and shepherd mixes

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has several new dogs waiting to be adopted.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of Belgian Malinois, boxer, German Shepherd 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.

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”).
