Hi, I'm Ginny! I'm a 6-month old female brown tabby kitten. I'm still adjusting to life here at LHS and I might be a little reserved when you first meet me, but if you're gentle with me I'll show you how sweet I am. I really like soft pets and chin scratches, and at heart I'm just a very gentle, quiet girl. I do like to sit in your lap for snuggles too! I like to cuddle with and groom my brother, King Arthur who is also available for adoption! If you're looking for a low-key companion, I might be just the cat for you. My Christmas wish is to have a family of my own for the holidays! Come meet me Wednesdays 6-8 pm or Saturdays 12-3 at Lakeshore Humane Society.

Fredonia Schools Angel Trees
|
|
|
This past holiday season saw LHS Angel Trees adorn the Fredonia Elementary, Middle, and High Schools. Students brought in donations and then "adopted" one of the shelter animals, placing the dog's or cat's photo ornament on their school's tree. The fundraiser was organized by the members of the high school's National Honor Society and the Middle School Service Learning Club.

Social Studies teacher and Honor Society advisor Lindsey Moon delivered the donations of cash and supplies to the LHS Adoption Center, which were gratefully accepted by volunteer Jerry McGarrity. Great job, kids!

There is a need for dog and cat foster homes. Here is one of our foster volunteers.

Marie Cameron with Panzer, who she adopted from LHS.
|
|
|
Marie Cameron got involved with Lakeshore Humane Society in 1997 in response to the cruelty case of Buster the cat, which prompted Buster’s Law. She began volunteering before she had children and then later got her kids involved, showing them the importance of caring for all animals. She has served in numerous roles at LHS, including president, and worked on various fundraisers and the building project.
Marie began fostering for LHS in 1999 because of a need for foster homes, especially before LHS had an adoption center. Marie has fostered both cats and dogs. She likes to prepare pets to live in a home so they will adjust well after adoption. She is currently fostering two tiger kittens which were found orphaned outside Walmart and had to be bottle fed at first. They stay in a big guest room with lots of windows.
Marie is married with two young children. She says her husband is also a sucker for animals in need. They have two dogs and three cats of their own, including “foster failures.” Marie is also interested in wildlife rehabilitation and brings that passion to her students in the Dunkirk Schools where she teaches 7th grade English. She advises a school nature club and over the years has brought in after school programs about pet care. She also enjoys hiking, camping, and gardening.
