Adopt A Pet Today from the Lassen County Animal Shelter – Gypsy
Gypsy is looking for a safe and secure home to call her own. Could it be yours?

This sweet girl is getting spayed Monday, 4/25, and will be ready to start meeting interested adopters on Tuesday, 4/25. She will also be up to date on her vaccinations and heartworm tested.

Gypsy came to the shelter as a stray and is estimated to be about 2 years old. Staff is still getting to know her and her behaviors.
So far, it’s very clear that her new home will need a very secure yard and possibly a fully enclosed outdoor kennel. This is because Gypsy can climb chain link fencing. It’s very possible she could figure out wooden fencing as well.

Additional evaluations need to be done to determine how Gyspy does with other dogs and/or cats. However, this girl is sweet as can be when it comes to cuddling and hanging out with people.

If interested in meeting Gypsy, give the Lassen County Animal Shelter a call at (530) 257-9200.
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.
