How will donations be used?

Lakeshore Humane Society places more than 900 animals a year in forever homes. Donations will assist in the care of the animals and upkeep of the facilities.

As well as raising funds for the care of animals, the LHS is undergoing a capital campaign to construct a new shelter building. So far, it has raised $1.8 million toward a $3.8 million goal. Some of the monetary donations will go toward that campaign.
