LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a small group of big dogs ready to go to new homes this week.
The available dogs include mixes of Doberman, husky and pit bull.
There also are several strays picked up from the Clayton fire area that are being held for 30 days in order to reunite them with their families.
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.
