716-672-1991 Many aspects of our organization have changed over the years, but our goal has stayed the same.

The Lakeshore Humane Society is a non-profit, all volunteer organization, dedicated to helping protect the welfare of all animals and providing humane education to our community. The organization was established in 1980 under the name of The Dunkirk Humane Society, later renamed as we expanded our area of service to include the entire north end of Chautauqua County. We strive to get funding throug

h donations and grants to support our spay/neuter assistance program and to help us pay for operating costs, primarily veterinary bills. As always, we are very thankful to our generous sponsors who enable us to continue our work in the community. All money raised or donated stays in our community and helps animals in need. Animals in the care of The Lakeshore Humane Society are housed at our adoption center at 431 East Chestnut Street in Dunkirk. Space restricts the number of animals in our care at any given time it does enables us to get to know each animal better, leading to more successful pairings with new owners. All animals leaving our care must be spayed or neutered prior to adoption and owners are required to sign an adoption contract detailing our standards of care for their new pet. Animals that are deemed too young to be altered are provided with a voucher that covers the cost of surgery. A reasonable donation is required at the time of adoption. Anyone interested in bettering the welfare of animals is welcome to join our organization. There are many ways you can help the animals and us. We meet the third Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. in our adoption center located at 431 E. Chestnut Street, Dunkirk, NY. Our phone number is: 716-672-1991. Our mail address is 431 E. Chestnut Street, Dunkirk, NY 14048 or you can contact us though this site. We hope to see you soon! The Adoption Center hours are by adoption appointment only. We are going to have many adoption days throughout the year when we will be open on different Saturdays for people to come , look, meet and adopt their four-legged family member. Also, we will be holding fundraisers at the center so that you may visit the animals and adopt then, too.

Meet Tilly! Tilly is a very sweet 2 year old female tuxie. She loves human companionship and loves to sit in your lap and cuddle. She's not overly fond of her current kennel mate Chozen but should be OK with other cats after a proper slow introduction. Please consider meeting Tilly and helping to make her Christmas wish come true of her very own furever home! If you are interested in giving Tilly the life she deserves, please fill out our online application or stop in during open hours Wednesday 6-8pm or Saturday from 12-3pm.

Please consider spending some time with Bella at open adoption tonight! Bella is a very sweet girl approximately 3 years old who cherishes human companionship. She's a great lap cat once she gets to know you! Her only drawback is she is not fond of other cats and would need to be your one and only.. Bella's person/family has to be out there somewhere! Please help Bella's Christmas wish of a furever home come true!❤️❤️

Meet Biscuit, the 2–3-year-old husky mix who’s equal parts gorgeous, goofy, and full-throttle fun! 🍪✨
Biscuit LOVES to play and will happily turn any moment into a performance—zoomies, spins, dramatic play bows, you name it. She’s a true entertainer who puts on quite a show for anyone lucky enough to watch.
Beyond her playful spirit, Biscuit is sweet, affectionate, and always ready for her next adventure. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply being admired for her stunning looks, she’s all in. She seems to get along well with other dogs, but a meet and greet is required to make sure it’s the perfect match.
