LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Several dogs that have been held and cared for since being found in the Clayton fire area are now being offered for adoption by Lake County Animal Care and Control, along with several other dogs.
The Clayton fire dogs are at the top of the list below.
The available dogs from Lake County Animal Care and Control this week include mixes of boxer, Chihuahua, Doberman Pinscher, Great Dane, hound, Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, pit bull and terrier.
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.
The following dogs at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter have been cleared for adoption (additional dogs on the animal control Web site not listed are still “on hold”).
