LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control's special adoption event wraps up on Saturday, just as a large new group of dogs has arrived.
Animal Care and Control holds the special events up to four times a year.
The savings this week total $50 for dogs and $40 for cats. The event waives the $30 adoption fee for dogs and the $20 adoption fee for cats, and dropped the $20 microchip fee.
The agency had reported it was having a good week with adoptions, but on Friday Director Bill Davidson said they were swamped with an influx of 15 dogs, many of them owner surrenders.
With an already full shelter, community members thinking about adoption are urged to come in and take home a new family member.
The shelter on Friday had three adult cats available, along with several litters of puppies, and many adult dogs – from small Chihuahuas up to large hound and American Bulldog mixes, as well as mixes of boxer, cattle dog, Doberman, Labrador Retriever, mastiff, pit bull, Rottweiler and shepherd.
Adoption costs this week are as follows:
– Dogs: $111 to $126 for females, depending on weight, and $101 for males.
– Cats: $56 for males and $66 for females.
Those costs include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, licensing and a heartworm test (if age-appropriate).
