LAKEPORT, Calif. – A big group of dogs of all sizes and breeds is waiting to meet you at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week, while Clearlake Animal Control is offering three friendly dogs needing homes.
Terriers, labs, shepherds, border collies, Chihuahuas and more are looking for loving, forever homes.
For the first time this week, dogs from Clearlake Animal Control are featured here, with three dogs – “Harley,” “Bruiser” and “Missy” – awaiting adoption.
CLEARLAKE ANIMAL CONTROL
'Bruiser'
“Bruiser” is a 1-year-old pit bull/lab mix.
He is a big boy but a gentle giant who, despite his size, thinks he is a lap dog.
Animal control staff reported that is great on a leash, and loves every person and animal he meets.
'Harley'
“Harley” is a male Dalmatian.
He is 6 years old and has been neutered.
Clearlake animal control staff said he loves playing with toys, loves people and does well with other dogs.
'Missy'
“Missy” is a 1-year-old female Basenji mix.
She is great on leash and excellent with other dogs. She is a little shy, but once she knows you she will shower you with love and affection. Missy would make a great agility dog.
If interested in any of the dogs from Clearlake Animal Control, please contact Officer Blavet at 707-994-8201, Extension 118, or visit the kennels at 6820 Old Highway 53 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.
