Look at that smile! This adorable boy is Urban, a mixed breed that is approximately 6-12 months old. Urban came to us as an unclaimed stray from animal control. He is very energetic and playful. Urban will need an active owner who makes sure he gets enough exercise to keep him healthy and happy. Urban will also need to work on basic commands. His new owner needs to have the time, energy and patience to train a young dog. Urban is a smart boy who should catch on quickly. If you would like to meet this cutie, please stop in either Wednesdays 6-8pm or Saturdays 12-3pm. You may also fill out an application online.

Noelle is a 15 month old female domestic short haired tabby cat. She is very affectionate, lovable and playful. She lives with other cats at the shelter and they get along fine. She is a little feisty and not fond of being picked up yet, but she will crawl into your lap on her terms and give you endless hours of play!

Deborah Washington with LHS resident Bo.

Deborah Washington has been fostering cats for over 30 years. She says she loves how fostering gives them a chance at a good life, saving them and helping them to become more lovable and happy. The cats she fosters are almost always mothers and their kittens.
Deborah keeps the mother and newborns in a bathroom at first, away from other activity in the home. Then she gradually allows them into more areas of the house as they get older. At times, she has attended to kittens almost non-stop, with bottle feeding every two to three hours. The most she has had at one time was three mothers and their 11 kittens. Deborah has also adopted some blind and disabled cats who otherwise would be difficult to place. Her own pets currently include three cats and a dog (a Husky).
Deborah has three grown children living in Fredonia, Virginia, and West Virginia, and a nephew who lives with her. She enjoys tending the garden at her home in Dunkirk, as well as the gardens at Lakeshore Humane Society and St. John Episcopal Church. She recommends fostering as very rewarding, joyful, and amusing.

Celebrate Christmas With Your Pet
|
|
Pets are part of the family. So, they can be a wonderful part of our holiday celebrations as well. Here are some ideas for including your fur baby in the festivities.
Get a Picture With Santa
Stop by the LHS Adoption Center on December 4 and get a pic of Santa with your pet and maybe you. Use the photo on your Christmas cards or share on social media.
Shop for a Christmas Tree Together
Your dog will love the outing and will make sure the tree is Fido-approved. Your cat can give the final okay when you get home.
Get Your Dog a Christmas Sweater
For bonus points, get a matching one for yourself. And perhaps your cat will tolerate a dignified holiday collar.
Hang Up a Stocking for Your Pet
Fill it with small toys and treats.
Decorate Your Pet's Space
Find pet-safe trimmings to jazz up their crate, bed, or perch.
Take Your Dog Christmas Caroling
Neighbors and friends will be sure to get a kick out of seeing a canine caroler, especially if he or she can howl in tune.
Bake Pet-Friendly Holiday Treats
There are recipes available online for making holiday cookies that are safe for dogs and cats.
Snuggle Together to Watch a Pet Christmas Movie
Try "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" or "The Nine Lives of Christmas"
Don't Forget Some Gifts
Give your furry loved one some packages to open on Christmas morning.
