Wilbur is a 9-year-old beagle boy in need of his very own home. He is affectionate and sweet, and loves to give kisses and offer his paw for you to hold (and to give you access to rub his belly while he's sitting up). Wilbur was bought from a breeder as a puppy, and came to Lakeshore Humane Society at four years old when the man found he was working too much overtime to give Wilbur what he needed. Wilbur was adopted by a wonderful woman, but she got sick late in 2023 and Wilbur found himself back at LHS. A volunteer, Rebecca, who loves beagles tried to adopt him, but it turns out Wilbur wants to be the only pet in the house. He's still with Rebecca as a foster, getting two walks a day and spending time outside, where he likes to survey the backyard for squirrels, as all good beagles do. He loves food and treats and was a bit chubby, but has slimmed down quite a bit. He does have some minor health issues, found after Rebecca had some tests run. He has hypothyroidism, and takes a little pill every morning in a piece of cheese. He also had chronic bronchitis, so takes a pill to keep that at bay, and a bit of anxiety, also treated with medication. All together, his medicines cost about 50 dollars a month. Wilbur happily takes his "cheese medicine" before breakfast every day. He eats regular Purina senior dog food. He's great at the vet, resigning himself to whatever needs to be done. He's the same in the bathtub. He needs someone strong to walk him or a fenced-in yard. He has a surprising amount of energy for an older guy! If anyone is interested in Wilbur, please call LHS at 716-672-1991 and leave a message for the dog committee. They can put you in touch with Rebecca to talk or to arrange a meeting. Thank you!

One of the primary functions of The Humane Society is to find homes for orphan cats and dogs. Although we are eager to find homes, we are cautious to find “adopters” who will provide a caring atmosphere for the animals. As a result, it is incumbent upon the prospective adopter to display a certain level of responsibility before an application is accepted. Also, the Society retains the right to revoke an adoption if it is determined that an adopter is not living up to the responsibilities to the animals as outlined by the Society. Here is what you should expect before you take on this responsibility.
The adopter is responsible for having the pet surgically sterilized within a specified time period if it has not been done at adoption time.
The pet should be taken for a veterinary checkup within 7 days of adoption. Any vaccinations, worming or other medical procedures required will be the responsibility of the adopter.
The pet must be licensed by the appropriate city and county agencies.
While in adopter’s care, the pet must be provided with adequate food, water, shelter, exercise and medical care in a devoted and humane manner.
The pet must be kept primarily as a house pet, meaning it will reside in the house. Tethering periods may not exceed nine hour intervals and during these periods, the pet must be within range of shelter and water at all times.
The Society retains the right to investigate the premises at any time and to reclaim the pet in the event that the adopter can no longer adequately care for it according to Society standards. If a pet is lost, the adopter must notify the Society and must make every effort to recover it.
If you feel that you can meet the responsibility requirements of the Society for adoption of an animals, or have any questions concerning adoption, contact us by calling 716.672.1991 or send us at 431 E. Chestnut Street, Dunkirk, NY 14048 a Pet Adoption Application that is in this posting.

More about this rescue
The Lakeshore Humane Society is a non-profit, volunteer ran organization, dedicated to helping protect the welfare of all animals and providing humane education to our community. Established in 1980 under the name Dunkirk Humane Society, later renamed as more areas of Chautauqua County were helped by our services. Over the years our goals have stayed the same. We strive to get funding through donations and grants to support our spay and neuter assistance program as well as to fund our operating costs, primarily veterinarian bills.
Our gratitude, as always, and thanks go to our generous sponsors who help us continue our work in the Northern Chautauqua Community. All money raised or donated stays in our community and helps animals in need.
Animals in the care of the Lakeshore Humane Society reside at our recently built Adoption Center located at 431 East Chestnut Street in Dunkirk, New York. We comfortably house 10 dogs in our dog housing area and 50 cats in our cat area. Our family atmosphere helps us get to know each animal better to find the perfect home for them.
Animals leaving our care are fully vetted including spaying or neutering before they go to their furrever home. We have volunteer trainers and animal professionals in our volunteer rotation that work with each animal and offer services after they leave our care. A reasonable donation is requested at the time of adoption to cover the services provided for our animals as well as cost to cover living expenses.
Since we are volunteer-ran hours are by appointment only but we have a weekly adoption day for open houses! We are open every Saturday 12-3.
