LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Several big dogs are waiting for adoption this week at Lake County Animal Care and Control.
The dogs cleared for adoption range in age from 8 months to 6 years, and come in various sizes, with mixes of Labrador Retriever, shepherd, terrier, heeler and Chihuahua available.
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.
