Hopper is the type of dog that would flourish with a job and plenty of space to run in; he can sprint the fence lines out in the shelter dog runs back and forth without seeming to break a sweat. His ideal home will be very active.

He's estimated to be about 9 months old and will need to be neutered and brought up to date on vaccinations prior to adoption. Hopper can be mouthy, so his new person should be ready to address this. As such, it's recommended that his new home has no small children because of this.

If interested in meeting Hopper, or other adoptable animals at the shelter, please call staff at (530) 257-9200.

Additional: If there are dogs already in the home, it is suggested that potential adopters bring them to the shelter to do a meet and greet with the new dog.

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.

Salt Distributed for Lassen Herds

April 3, 1950

Elmer Doty, Lassen County game warden, has just finished distributing nearly two tons of block salt in 50-lb. blocks to the deer over a wide area between Secret Valley and Red Rock. The project which took two weeks to complete, was done in a jeep which took him to places normally could not be reached in a car.

The salt was made available through Lassen County Sportsmen’s Conversation League, Mr. Doty said, and is placed out now because the deer herds are in the poorest condition of the year. They cannot get enough of the essential salt from natural licks because they are too few in this area.

While the deer in this particular area are in poor shape, those in the territory beyond Doyle are in a worse condition, Mr. Doty said.
