The Lassen County Animal Shelter is calling on shepherd lovers to spread the word for our dear girl, Skittles. She’s in search of a new home and family to shower her with all the love she deserves.
Her journey to our facility was a rough one, however she’s now settling in, gaining weight, and participating in play groups. When it comes to the public stopping into the shelter to view adoptable dogs, first impressions are hard for Skittles. She has a loud and intimidating bark, which could stem from her possibly being kept as a strictly backyard dog prior to her arriving at the shelter. Yet, once she gets out into the play yard and is given some love and attention, she just melts in all the affection. Skittles knows ‘sit’ and ‘down’. She’s attentive, treat motivated, and eager to please her handler. Truly, Skittles has so much potential and she’s waiting patiently for the right person to come along and take her home.
Skittles is about 5 years old, UTD on her vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. If interested in meeting with Skittles, or other adoptable animals at the shelter, please call staff at (530) 257-9200. Should there be other dogs in a potential new home, staff recommends bringing them along for a meet and greet to ensure a good fit.
Featured animals at the Lassen County Animal Shelter are available for adoption on a first-come-first-serve basis. According to California law, all adoptable dogs and cats must be spayed and neutered before leaving our facility. If interested in adopting an animal, please contact the shelter directly.
Current shelter hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. Closed Saturday and Sunday. You can contact the shelter at 530.257.9200.
