Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc 431 East Chestnut Street
Dunkirk, NY 14048
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 through 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.

Open hours today, noon until 3pm. Come and meet your new best friend!

Looking for a four-legged adventure buddy? Meet Clyde, a handsome hound mix around 4 years old who’s ready to get out there and enjoy life with his new best friend! ❤️

Clyde is a friendly, energetic guy who loves playing outside and going for walks. Whether you’re hitting the trails for a hike, heading out for a run, or simply enjoying the great outdoors, Clyde would love to be right by your side! 🥾🌳

This active boy would thrive with an outdoorsy owner who can keep him moving, give him plenty of exercise, and make him part of their adventures. If you’re looking for a companion who’s always up for getting outside, Clyde might just be your perfect match!

🐶 Have another dog at home? A meet and greet with any resident dogs is required to make sure everyone gets along. We are suggesting older kids only because of Clyde’s exuberance.

Clyde is ready to trade shelter life for fresh air, fun, and a family to call his own. Could you be the one to take him on his next big adventure? ❤️
Please fill out our online application or stop in during open hours. Wednesday 6-8pm or Saturday 12-3p.

Runner in the back is spoken for but Babs on the left and Simone on the right are great pals and are still seeking their furever homes. They get along great with all other adult cats and kittens and could be split up... but if you're looking for a pair these two would be ideal! Runner was just introduced to them this morning and they are all having a blast together!! Both very playful and curious. Babs is around 5 months old and Simone is around 6 months old. Both females. Come visit!!

Say hello to beautiful Esme! Esme is a VERY sweet, calm and easy going girl around 2 years old. Shes a medium hair tortie/tabby mix. She gave birth to the most beautiful kittens ever several months ago and was absolutely the best mom ever!! No more babies for her though! She's ready for her furever home! She gets along well with most other cats and kittens and loves to play! She should be great with younger kids. If you are interested in giving Esme the life she deserves, please fill out our online application or stop in during open hours Wednesday 6-8pm or Saturday from 12-3pm.
