About Lake Shore Animal Shelter
Lake Shore’s primary mission is to save homeless cats and dogs from non-medical euthanasia: to stop the needless killing of innocent pets. Homeless companion animals have a safe, comfortable, structured environment prior to re-homing with basic training, socialization and lots of love from all our volunteers to ease the transition.
Intake priority is given to owners unable to care for their pets due to illness, disability, involuntary change in housing/economic circumstance, or death.
Lake Shore Animal Shelter guarantees to take custody of any animal adopted out, even years later; no questions asked. All Lake Shore dogs and cats have a home for life
This fulfills the promise of a no-kill any shelter, removing any possible burden to other shelters and ensuring a home for the life of the dog or cat.
