Adopt A Pet Today from the Lassen County Animal Shelter – Kia
Kia is back in the spotlight as Pet of the Week again! She’s been with the Lassen County Animal Shelter for over a month and is still waiting for her forever home.

This sweet girl is just ADORABLE with cute tiny ears and velvety soft paws and snout. She’s spunky, cheerful, and would truly love to accompany her people on whatever adventure they’d like to include her in. Whether it be a walk in the park or quality time in the backyard, as long as Kia is hanging out with her person, she’s happy.
Kia is a 2 year old Doberman mix. She resource guards her toys/food from other dogs, so it is recommended by staff for Kia to be an only dog. Children in the home should be older and respectful. Kia has a moderate amount of energy, loves her stuffed toys, and she looks great in a bandana. If interested in meeting her smiling face, please contact the Lassen County Animal Shelter at (530) 257-9200.

In observance of Independence Day, the shelter will be closed Monday, July 4th, and will open again for regular business hours on Tuesday the 5th.
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 during the COVID-19 pandemic are Monday through Friday, 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. Closed Saturday and Sunday. You can contact the shelter at 257-9200.
