Wouldn’t let me foster a dog or adopted a dog because I was later to my meeting with them because I couldn’t get my son wow thank you for that.

Denied adoption because we keep our animals outside while at work instead of inside in a kennel. They think, after a dog has slept all night in a kennel and then is waken up for breakfast and put right back into the kennel all day, is better than having a nice big pen outside with a custom built dog house, specifically made so that they are out of the elements. They way they spoke to my father made us both feel like we are abusive or neglect animals. So a dogs life would be better to be locked in a kennel all night and all day and having a few hours to explore and exercise just to be put back in the kennel for bedtime. When we get off of work we would let our previous dogs out of the nice big pen and let them roam the 1 acre yard until they wanted to come inside or , guess what? Go back into their pen because it's a comfortable place for them. All our previous dogs lived this way and never had any major problems and all died due to old age.UPDATE: Adopted a 3 and 1/2 year old cattle dog (obviously not from LakeShore because they think a dog wouldn't want to be outside) who loves to be outside in our yard. She would rather go into the pen, outside, than to go inside and be in her kennel all day. She is helping our puppy with her separation anxiety as well. Thanks for absolutely nothing LakeShore Paws.

Not very honest people.gave us dogs that need medical stuff done.told us any pre exisiting issues would be covered and they do not once u adopt them.they say they only cover what their vet finds wrong with them.how does a vet miss ear infections and loose teeth and heart murmurs.now were stuck with thousuands of dollars to have their teeth removed blood works chest ex rays antibiotics....they lied and never vetted the dogs we got.the owner admits it.they have further health issues and want to offer the adoption fee back which isnt going to cover anything.the owner told me they went by what the other shelter told them that they were healthy.they arent offering to cover any pre existing conditions like they told us and said they only cover what their vets find and now telling me they didnt even have their vet check them out .Liars!!

Olga was terrified when I first met her but since I got her home she hasn't stopped and has also become affectionate to me. So HAPPY about that!!

I had filled out an application for one of their senior small dogs and called to see if I could meet him. The woman on the phone berated me because one of my dogs isn’t neutered and they just don’t understand why. She wasn’t interested in “why” and pretty much accused me of being part of the unwanted puppy population. We are responsible dogs owners…we’re not the problem. If she had taken the time to call my vet she would’ve gotten the “why” and realized that the dog would be going to a wonderful caring home. I’ve been adopting senior dogs for a few years and have never been spoken to like that. You’ve lost a customer but more importantly a loving home for one of your dogs.

I have nothing good to say about this organization. They act as if they do what is right but they don’t. My grandfather was diagnosed with lung, and prostate cancer and given 7-10 days to live. His dog was taken to paws because he was taken into the hospital. Once Paws got his dog and did all their health examinations on her they found out that she also has cancer. My family reached out and asked if we could get the dog back just for his last few days alive and they told us no, it’s not in the best interest of the dog. So therefore my grandfather can die without his dog by his side, while the dog also dies of cancer. So therefore my grandfather gets to die without his dog by his side and some family can enjoy his dog for a very short period of time before she passes away as well.

After several visits and a few months I finally found my perfect dog thanks to thier patience. Everyone is wonderful there. You can foster a dog to see if it will work out, which is what I did.all dogs are spayed,neutered,microchips and all shots given. Tested for heartworm also.my dog did develope kennel cough, noticed couple days after adoption. They supplied me with antibiotics and cough pills. I'll end with nice visiting rooms and clean.

I lost my younger pup to Cancer and my older dog, Luke, was Lost. Already high on his list, Luke became more protective of me - has always been my self appointed protector. Had some issues at the County Shelters with the people around as we did Meet-n-Greets. Was ready to give up, but the Gentleman at PAWS monitoring the Meet-n-Greet listened to me and seen Luke's closeness to me and took his time and a few extra steps to get Luke and the new dog to interact. Was given go ahead to take new dog home for 3 days. All went well and the two dogs are starting to play together even more. I have adopted the new Pup who I renamed DexterPeople at PAWS were very Nice, took time to explain everything, and like I said, gentleman doing Meet-Greet was Fantastic, knowledgeable, and understanding.Should I ever want another dog I think I'm starting Here at PAWS .

Lakeshore paws works hard to match the humans needs and the Animals needs. They get to know their dogs and the dogs character before setting appointments to meet the animals. We filled out an interview questionnaire and based on our answers they could tell us if the dogs we were looking at were a good fit. We adopted an amazing dog! I will go there every time.

I adopted a dog from here a year ago. I understand that it’s a shelter and that they might have challenges but I hen the outright lie to people who are getting dogs from them it’s not okay. I was told that my dog was going to be neutered and to bring him back for his appointment. This was a lie. They didn’t set it up and when I tried calling, I have not been able to reach them by phone. The lie was unnecessary.
