Meet Tess. How could you resist the gorgeous face of this 4 year old Treeing Walker Coonhound. Tess is just about as sweet as they come. She loves every human she meets, no matter the size. Tess gets along with other dogs her size and has even lived with cats previously. Did we mention she is an exceptional singer? Hound savvy family would be preferable. Due to size and breed, no renters please. The adoption fee for Tess is $200. If Tess is the one for you, please fill out an application.

Helen means torch, shining light . . . and that describes her perfectly. She's not super flashy, but she beams from within. No matter what your mood, she's happy to brighten your day. She's a love. Very affectionate and gets along with other cats.

Bobby’s adopter didn’t deliberately dress to match him but it was a lovely coincidence.
|
|
|
Sweet Zoey has left the building with her mom and new auntie. She will live her best life with her mom, dad, doggie sister Hope and kitty brother Boots.
|
|
|
|
The Adoption Center will be a little quieter now as Blue heads out to new adventures with the active owner he needs.
|
|
|
|
Happy tails Petey! His mom & dad are over the moon and his new sissy Kelly is at home waiting for him. They promise to fatten him up and love him lots.
|
|
|
|
It was worth the wait, Milo. This wonderful couple will give you lots of love.

Like winning the Super Bowl. Diggs and Allen went to their forever home today with their new mom Emily (on the right). They were so excited they did not want to sit still to pose for a picture.
|
|
|
In early March we had 17 players from the Blackhorse Rugby Team volunteer for a couple hours: visiting, walking, bathing, grooming, and loving our dogs and cats. It was heartwarming to see the enthusiasm and love of so many young adults. And five of them applied to become LHS volunteers!

We're back this month with a profile of the Monday Morning dog volunteers.

Monday morning dog crew Jerry Panasci, Mick Dunning, and Debbie Jenkins
|
|
Jerry Panasci
Jerry just started volunteering with LHS two months ago. He’s always had big dogs but can’t have one right now because he lives with his 91-year-old mother and a turkey. Jerry just retired from owning and operating Sharp Cars in Fredonia. Now he delivers pizza a few days a week for his brother’s business, Pizza Village. He’s lived all over the country and has had various careers but moved back to the area to take care of his mom. He enjoys trail riding with friends on his side by side four-wheeler.
Mick Dunning
Mick has been with LHS for 8 to 9 years. He’s always had dogs and currently has three dogs and seven cats. He retired 10 years ago from NRG where he ran the chem lab. Mick lives with Karen, another volunteer, and he has a son and daughter and four grandchildren. He plays golf and watches baseball and football.
Debbie Jenkins
Debbie began volunteering at LHS at the beginning of February, driving all the way from Derby. She’s always had dogs and just lost her dog in September. She recently retired as a medical assistant at Buffalo Medical Group. Debbie and her husband have four children. She likes to golf and crochet.

Ollie can’t have blankets or soft toys in his kennel so he just parked here
(on a shelf in the laundry room) and wouldn’t move.

Mastiff mix Clyde stole our hearts in the brief time he was here.
Sadly, he died shortly after surgery.

Real bunnies are not Easter toys. A rabbit is a living, breathing, fragile creature. Rabbits need special care, and are a 10+ year commitment.
