LOST after his mom hit a HUGE deer on the I-90 just before the Berry Road overpass, and went off the road toward the right (there is a farm there, address on Berry Rd., and the owners are aware). Bunny's mom was headed toward Dunkirk from Westfield direction. He wasn't in a carrier and escaped out of the wrecked car. He's a hider, but a REALLY sweet boy, so don't be afraid of him. He loves gravy. His microchip has migrated down toward his leg. PLEASE PLEASE, look for him. His mom needs him.

 My two kitties went missing from my friends farm. Last seen in Ashville/Mayville NY on 7/28 This passed Friday. Both are spayed/neutered. Tabby is Mink/Minky & the white is Sasha/Sashie. Mink is a real big & chubby boy. Sasha is a petite female. There is good chance they are together and may be making their way to Irving(like the Homeward bound movie I love) I am very worried about them as the farm was an emergency place for them due to moving issues. If seen/found please call me 716-948-6263. They are very friendly, Mink is a bit shy but Sasha will come right up to you. Mink will for food! Thank you!

 This is Lilo, she's the dog of the month for March.  You can adopt her for only $125.  She's a sweetheart, good with other dogs and kids, not so much with cats. 

 

 Opal is a very sweet and affectionate calico., about a year old. She’s a relative newcomer to our shelter, so she's a bit shy, but warms up quickly and really enjoys human companionship and visits! She’s quite attentive and playful, and gets along well with them with other cats at the shelter. Like all our cats available for adoption, she has been blood tested, wormed, treated for fleas, spayed, vaccinated, and micro-chipped.  The adoption fee ($60) is less than one vet visit, and if you adopt two cats at the same time, there is a 25% reduction in the adoption fee. This pretty kitty and all our other cats ready for adoption can be seen at 431 E Chestnut Street in Dunkirk during open hours: Wednesday 6-8pm or Saturday from 12-3pm.

Sneakers. a very attractive  medium length hair grey and white female, is on the mend from a leg amputation.  Our best guess is that she was hit by a car and never given the proper care while a stray and she lost the use of her leg. She is all vetted and ready for her furever home. Estimated to have been born about October 2023, she has an adorable white muzzle that extends between her eyes, and lots of snow white on her vest and legs. Only having three legs doesn’t slow her down; she still loves to run and play, especially with the laser toys.  She has lived with another cat during her recovery and they got along well.  Even though she’s missing a leg, she has no medical concerns and will do well in your home. This kitty and all our others ready for adoption can be seen during Open Hours, Saturdays 12-3 P.M. or Wednesdays 6-8 P.M. at 431 East Chestnut Street in Dunkirk.  Applications and special appointments are available on Facebook (Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc.)  or our website: http://www.lakeshorehumanesocuety.org.  If you prefer, you can arrange an appointment by calling (716) 672-1991 and fill out an application during your visit.

 

 

Katie Sue is a black and gray tabby with gold highlights in her fur. She is estimated to be about four years old and came to us in August 2024 as a stray with five kittens.  She is very used to people and a good hostess, as she comes to greet you as you approach the pen in which she is housed. Definitely a people person, this very friendly cat is ready and eager for a permanent home.  She is blood tested, microchipped, wormed, treated for fleas, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. Please come to see her during our Open Hours, Saturdays 12-3 P.M. or Wednesdays 6-8 P.M. at our adoption center, 431 East Chestnut Street in Dunkirk.  Applications and appointments are available through our Facebook page (Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc.) or our website: http://www.lakeshorehumanesociety.org. If you prefer, you can call (716) 672-1991 to make an appointment and fill out a paper application during your visit. Your feline(s) of choice will be placed on hold for you while your application is processed. 

 

Zena is all ready for a trip to a new home; she even has light gold eyeshadow and some brown-gold mascara at the outside of her eyes! This unusual colored cat has a basecoat of dark tabby fur, with gold and orange highlights that make it seem that the sun is shining on her back. She also has a white throat and pretty, light green eyes. She is estimated to be a little more than two years old and came to us as a stray with ten-week-old kittens. Zena must have been a pet at some point, because she is extremely friendly and will rub your legs for attention. As with all of our adoptable cats, she has been blood tested, wormed, treated against fleas, is up to date on all inoculations and is spayed and microchipped.  Come see this unusual beauty during Open Hours at 431 E. Chestnut Street in Dunkirk, Saturdays 12-3 P.M.  or Wednesdays 6-8 P.M. Applications and special appointments are available through our website: http://www.lakeshorehumanesociety.org, or our Facebook page (Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc.)

Lexi is a 3 1/2 year old female shorthaired black and white cat, with a big tuxedo vest and the cutest face with a partially black nose. She was surrendered by her owner over a year ago, adopted and returned after six months when her new family developed allergies. A very sweet and friendly pet, Lexi developed an autoimmune condition that is dormant unless she experiences stress, which losing your home twice will surely cause.  She is in the same pen as Racer, who is about 1 1/2 years old, and has a lot of similarity in appearance. Racer was found as a stray and just loves to be petted. Both these animals have a lot of white and seem to be wearing sox on their front feet, but hip boots on their hind legs.  They are available separately, but also would make a nice pair for a home that has room for two friendly cats. See them at 431 East Chestnut Street in Dunkirk during Open Hours, Saturdays 12-3 P.M. or Wednesdays 6-8 P.M. Applications and appointments are available through our Facebook page (Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc.) or our website: http://www.lakeshorehumanesociety.org. If you prefer, you can call (716) 672-1991 to make an appointment and fill out a paper application during your visit.  Your feline(s) of choice will be held while your application is processed.

 

 

 

Olive is a year-old black shorthaired female who has been with us since she was about six months old. She has a touch of white at her throat and two small wisps of white on the back of her head. Her eyes can best be described as copper, because sometimes they are dark gold, but at times they appear to be marble green. She has been with us for about six months, but recently has made great strides in playing with toys and seeking petting.  She is not yet at the "sit in your lap stage" and may never be, but she is friendly and will become a loving pet as she gets to know and trust her new owner. Olive loves dangling toys and will jump and display a lot of energy when something catches her attention.  She does not appear to have bonded with any dogs, but a slow introduction and patience will probably help her develop a good relationship with other pets in the household. Olive is at the perfect stage for bonding with a family and can be seen at 431 E. Chestnut Street in Dunkirk during Open Hours: 6-8 P.M. Wednesdays and 12-3 P.M. on Saturdays. Applications and special appointments are available on our website: http://www.lakeshorehumanesociety.org, or our Facebook page (Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc.) If you prefer, you can call (716) 672-1991 to make an appointment and fill out a paper application when you visit. Your feline(s) of choice can be held while your application is processed. 

 

   

Timber

 This handsome black and white short haired cat came to us as one of three bonded littermates. The other two were adopted, but he, being the most timid, is still waiting for his home.  He is about 1 1/2 years old now, and ready for a loving home. Although he is reputed to be shy and wary, if you approach him gently, he will roll over for tummy rubs. We are not sure if he will ever be one to climb into a lap, but he indeed shows gratitude for affection and with gentleness, attention and patience, he will a great addition to your family. He is used to other cats but surely would not mind being the only center of attention. Please stop by during Open Hours, 12-3 P.M. on Saturdays or 6-8 P.M. on Wednesdays, East Chestnut Street in Dunkirk.. Applications and special appointments are available through our Facebook page (Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc.) or our website: www.lakeshorehumanesociety,org. You can also call (716) 672-1991 to make an appointment and fill our an application during your visit. 

 

Misty is a gorgeous Siamese/tabby mix with icy blue eyes. She is around 7 years old and was surrendered with another cat due to allergies in the family, and now her companion has been adopted. After being in a home, it is difficult for a cat to adjust to a being in a pen, but she has done a great job of making the best of it.  She is a little shy at first but warms up quickly and loves human attention. She’s very calm and laid back. Misty is accustomed to being around other cats and likes humans. She can be picked up and will be a great lap cat. As with all out cats offered for adoption, she is blood tested, spayed, wormed, treated for fleas, is up to date on all vaccinations and comes with a ten-day health guarantee. 

 

SPECIAL PERSON NEEDED!  Munchie (left) and Cole need someone who has patience and that special knack to relate to animals.  Munchie was born as a stray and came to us when he was about 1 1/2 years old. He didn't adapt well to life in a shelter and was so stressed that he began to lose some of his hair.  He now has a lovely coat of medium gray tabby, with pretty patches of white accents on his chest, throat and feet. If you speak gently, he can be persuaded to submit to petting and grooming and will listen closely to what you're saying. Cole, a white male with grape green eyes, will regard you carefully while being elegant and regal looking with his gorgeous tail posed as if for a photo op.  Cole is a confused kitty, as he has had some surprises in his life. He is estimated to have been born around Christmas 2022, and then abandoned---he and many other cats were just left behind.  A confused kitten, he was adopted at about 5 months, then returned three months later because he was not friendly enough. All of those experiences are hard for a cat to handle, and he remains aloof while waiting for that special person. Is that you? Either or both these cats are ready for a patient loving home where they will not be expected to become lap cats.  If you can value their independence and enjoy their company, you may be that special person who will make all the difference. Please come visit at 431 East Chestnut Street in Dunkirk. Open Hours are Saturdays 12-3 P,M, and Wednesdays 6-8 P.M. Applications and appointments are available through our website: http://www.lakeshorehumanesociety.org , or our Facebook page (Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc.) If you prefer, you can call (716) 672-1991 to make an appointment and fill our a paper application when you visit. 

 

Rudy and Kelly

These two older cats were left homeless due to a death in the family. Rudy is an orange tabby with lots of white, and Kelly is a tortie.  They are a bonded pair that has lived together before being surrendered, so they are being offered as a Kitty Couple, which means that their adoption fee is half the usual cost. Come see these two cuties or any of our other cats ready for loving homes, at 431 E. Chestnut Street in Dunkirk during our Open Hours, Saturdays 12-3 P.M. or Wednesdays 6-8 P.M..You can also fill out an application and request a special appointment through our Facebook page (Lake Shore Humane Society, Inc) or our website: Lakeshorehumanesociety.org . If you prefer, you can call (716) 672-1991 to request an appointment and fill out a paper application when you visit. Your feline(s) of choice can be held while your application is processed. 

 

Andy has been with us for a considerable time, and consequently is in “The Lonely Hearts” club, which means that his adoption fee is reduced.  We don't understand why he is overlooked, because he is a good cat,  a little bit shy at first, but warms up quickly. Once he feels comfortable with someone, he enjoys snuggling and lounging in a lap. Andy is about a year old and all black with gold eyes. He has lived with numerous cats so would be great with other kitties and he loves to play, so he will be a great pet.  Come visit him or any of our other cats ready for adoption, at 431 East Chestnut Street in Dunkirk. (The adoption fee for all black cats is reduced by 50% throughout the entire month of July.)  Open hours are Saturdays between noon and 3 P.M., and Wednesdays 6-8 P.M.  Applications and appointments are available through our Facebook page (Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc.) or our website: http://www.lakeshorehumanecociety.org. If you prefer, you can call (716) 672-1991 to arrange an appointment and fill out an application when you visit. Your feline(s) of choice can be held while your application is processed.

 

 

 

 

Wilson is about 8 months old and is a very handsome male tuxedo!  Although he is a little shy at first , he will warm up quickly especially if you are ready to play!  He is a very  affectionate, playful and frisky lad.  At this moment, he's not quite comfortable about being picked up. That may come in time with more interaction, or he may always be a bit independent. Wilson has been totally vetted and comes with a ten day health guarantee.  If you would like to provide him with a companion, the adoption fee is 25% less for two cats adopted at the same time.  See him and our other cats ready for permanent homes by attending Open Hours, Saturdays 12-3 P.M. or Wednesdays 6-8 P.M. at 431 East Chestnut Street in Dunkirk.  Applications and appointments are available through our Facebook page (Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc.) or our website: www,lakeshorehumanesoiety.org .If your prefer, you can call (716) 672-1991 to make an appointment and fill our a paper application during your visit. Your feline(s) of choice can be held while your application is processed

 

 

Ella is an approximately 7-year-old domestic short haired female tortie, with lots of orange splashes in her fur and a decidedly prominent vest. She is very sweet, calm, and easy-going girl who gets along well with other cats.  Ella, as is the case with all our cats ready for adoption , has been blood tested, spayed, wormed, and treated with flea prevention, and is up to date on all her shots. She comes with a ten-day health guarantee. You can visit her at our Open Hours Saturdays 12-3 P.M., or Wednesdays 6-8 P.M. Applications and special appointments are available on our Facebook page (Lakeshore Humane Society, Inc.,) or our website: www.lakeshorehumanecociety,org.

Hindo the Homeless

 

Hindo arrived at NCCR in June, surrendered when his owner became homeless after a divorce. Hindo is an approximately 1 year old male Labrador Retriever/ Coonhound mix. He rides well in the car, keeps a neat kennel, knows some basic commands, and knows how to walk on a leash (but he can be a strong puller!). He's a happy dog who thinks everything is a game, and he is ready to play. ??

 

Hindo has been working with a professional trainer to learn better obedience skills and is making good progress.  If you're familiar with Labs at all, you know they can be very bouncy and lively if not well trained. Well Hindo hasn't had a lot of training in his young life, but he is working at it. The shelter is not the best place for him though; he gets easily distracted by all the other dogs. 

 

He needs a home environment. with a family that can give him plenty of exercise each day in addition to training.  He thinks he's the life of the party; everything is interesting and meant for play, especially people! He's very similar in personality to King, a Labrador who was adopted earlier this year and is thriving now that he is out of the shelter and in a home. If you have time, energy, patience, and the physical ability to handle a large dog give Hindo a look; we think he will make a wonderful addition to the right home. 

 

COME VISIT MONDAY-SATURDAY 1-3PM

Or by appointment

7540 N. Gale St. Westfield, NY

He Would Love Some Company!

Buster's Bio

 

This handsome guy is a 3 year old, 29lb Cocker Spaniel mix male who is very shy/timid towards new people but once he trusts you he is happy, playful and a big lover! An ideal home for Buster is one without small children because the loud noises and sudden movements frighten him, a fenced yard is preferred but not required: he gets the zoomies when off a leash in a yard. He needs someone who will be patient with him, understands he needs time to adjust and just love him unconditionally. Someone who has time to show him what a great life is and that there are good people out there, so he does not have to fear new faces. He gets along great with other animals. An absolute MUST is a dog companion, he needs this for comfort! Are you the perfect person or family for Buster?

The shelter is located at 7540 N. Gale St. in Westfield, NY 

 

Do you think any of these dogs might fit into your home and lifestyle?  Or perhaps you can just spread the word about NCCR and the great dogs that are available so other people can see them.    The shelter is located at 7540 N. Gale St. in Westfield and is open Monday-Saturday from 1-3pm or by appointment by calling 716-326-7297 (PAWS).  Most of the dogs can be seen online at www.caninerescue.org.


Maybe you can't adopt but have extra time on your hands? Go to the website and fill out a volunteer application or stop by the shelter during open hours from 1-3pm Monday-Saturday and pick up an application there.   There are a number of ways you can help out either hands on with the dogs weekdays, evenings or weekends or with events, fundraising or other things.   The shelter is located at 7540 N. Gale St. in Westfield and their phone number is 716-326-7297.       You'll make new two and four legged friends for sure!

 

Have you wondered about how you can help the dogs?

 

We are always looking for volunteers to work shifts, help at events, even just do yard work.  Haven't got the time to volunteer?  How about helping financially and donating your empty nickel deposit cans and bottles.   Several of the local redemption centers such as Get Your Nickel Back in Fredonia, Don's Car Wash in Lakewood and Farm Fresh Variety Store Bottle & Can Redemption in Jamestown will even take your returns and send us the money!

Another painless way is by shopping via Amazon Smile and designating Northern Chautauqua Canine Rescue as your charity of choice.  Amazon donates .5% of your purchases (at no additional cost to you!) to the charity you've chosen.  Every penny counts!


Many of the dogs can be seen online at www.caninerescue.org.  The website lists upcoming events, fundraisers, adoption successes, rabies clinics and other things.  Be sure to check out our Facebook page too; you can easily spread the word about NCCR dogs by liking/sharing their images; it costs you nothing and yet might mean everything to that dog if it helps it find a home.    Dogs can change very rapidly, so if you're looking for something specific, keep checking back!

Come find a new friend, be it a couch potato or a running buddy, we have all shapes, sizes and colors waiting for you!  If you haven't been by the shelter lately, stop on in!  We're located at 7540 N. Gale St. in Westfield and are open Monday-Saturday from 1-3 pm or by appointment by calling 716-326-7297.  Most of the dogs can be seen online at www.caninerescue.org or check out our Facebook page too.

 

 

As always, we love to hear about any of our dogs that you adopted.  If it was last week, last year or 10 years ago, please drop us an email and a photo.  This is NCCR's 18th year of "helping dogs adopt a human"!  We remember many of the dogs that pass through the doors; your notes, emails and photos help make it all worthwhile!
