Below are this week's available dogs.
Blue
Blue is a male Australian Cattle Dog (blue heeler) and Australian Shepherd mix.
He had been hanging out at an elementary school every day until Clearlake Animal Control picked him up. It appeared that Blue thought his owner was at school. He loved hanging out with all the kids and everyone wanted to take him home.
He loves cocking his head sideways when he hears a funny noise and is an inquisitive boy.
Shelter staff said he is loads of fun. He can dance in place on his back two legs and he gets along great with other dogs.
Blue's adoption fee is only $40, as he already is neutered and vaccinated.
'Buster'
“Buster” is a 3-year-old male pit bull terrier mix.
He walks nicely on leash and has a mellow personality.
Shelter staff said he's good with cats and will make a good family member.
'Kiddo'
“Kiddo” is a young male pit bull terrier mix.
Shelter staff said he is great on the leash, has a mellow personality.
While very kind-hearted, shelter staff said Kiddo can be picky about who he gets along with.
'Mona'
“Mona” is a young female Rottweiler-boxer mix with a low-key personality.
She is already spayed.
Shelter staff said she walks well on a leash, and is good with children, cats and other dogs.
'Poppy'
“Poppy” is a young female Chihuahua and terrier mix.
She enjoys going for walks, is playful, and loves to sit on your lap and cuddle.
Shelter staff said she is very sweet and lovable.
'Timothy'
“Timothy” is a male blue nose pit bull mix, estimated to be about 9 months old.
He loves to play ball and has a very happy personality, getting along well with people and other dogs.
