Yes there are three Dogtown, California entries
There genuinely appear to be three Dogtowns in California:
the place now known as Magalia,
the ghost town in Mono County (also seemingly called "Dog Town")
the non-existent town (according to references it never existed, as opposed to being a ghost town like Columbia, California) in Calaveras County (shown on Rand-McNally Road Atlas)
Dogtown, Marin County - on
Shoreline Highway north of the turnoff to
Bolinas; this was a logging town that was once the largest settlement in Marin; renamed "Woodville" so potential wives would find it more acceptable (it's said); posted that way by CalTrans for several decades, but now posted as Dogtown.

Three Dogtowns are listed in the California Secretary of State's 2005 Roster of Unincorporated Areas, in Calaveras County, Mariposa County, and San Joaquin County.
