Dear Friends of the LHS,
I am pleased to inform you that LHS has
been awarded a grant from The Belisle
Fund of the St. Croix Valley Foundation
along with a donation from Lakeside
Foods and their employees to help with
the construction costs of an outdoor dog
exercise area.

This year-around 50' by 50' dog exercise
area will play a critical role in preparing
dogs for their forever home by providing
off-lead…
Dog to dog socializing
“Meet and Greets” with potential adopters
Behavioral assessments
Training opportunities
Exercise
Currently LHS has two outdoor areas, 10'
by 50' and one indoor area, 15' by 20'
that provide space for these purposes.
However, this space is not large enough
for the 40 dogs and dozens of potential
adopters to interact in an environment
that allows the dogs to show their true
behavior.
The new dog exercise area will be
attached to the existing east dog run with
interior access for staff and volunteers
and exterior access for potential adopters.
LHS needs your help to complete the
construction of this great new feature for
the homeless dogs in Manitowoc County.
Approximately 25 truckloads of fill and
450 landscape blocks will be needed to
re-create an acceptable grade and build a
retaining wall before the 6' high chain link
fence can be installed.
There are many ways you can help make
a difference in a dog's future…
If you are interested in volunteering labor
for landscaping work on this project,
please contact the shelter at 684-5401 or
email [email protected] and
leave a message for Joe Gunzel (Project
Leader).
If you are interested in making a
donation, visit the shelter or mail your
check to…

ADOPTABLE CRITTERS
Full figured celebrity feline
looking to settle down into a
nice home. I’ve had enough
excitement to last a lifteime.
Now all I want to do is spend
my life with you.
Love, Caramel
Meet Lola, she has been at the
shelter all summer waiting for
a foster or forever family to
love her and take her home.
She is almost ready for her
knee surgery and needs a
loving and comfortable home
to recuperate in. Lola is a
sweet bulldog mix who can be
a bit shy, but she loves her
human friends.
Meet Pearl, she is a beautiful
girl full of stories. She was
surrendered with her two
housemates because their
human was moving. Pearl is 7
years old, her adoption fee is
the senior rate, $50. Stop in
and visit this beauty with one
green and one blue eye, she
could be your next gem.
Meet Rizzo, a happy and loyal
girl who was reluctantly
surrendered to LHS by her
owners who couldn't find a
new home for her. She loves
to ride in any vehicle; she
even used to ride in a semi!
She is spayed, housebroken
and current on shots. Stop in
today if you could be Rizzo's
new driving partner.
This sweet girl is Maggie the
Plott Hound. She was
surrendered when her family
moved. She is a sweet girl
who has a beautiful brindle
coat and a lovely hound howl.
She is only 2 years old and is
spayed and current on shots.
If you are looking for a new
best friend, Maggie is the one
for you!
Cherry is a beautiful petite
dilute tortishell with amazing
amber eyes. She is very
friendly and gets along with
other cats. She is spayed,
litter-trained, and current on
shots. Stop in today to meet
this beautiful girl.
Meet Jabba, he’s a young
adult Shar Pei who was
surrendered at the beginning
of August because the other
dog in the family didn’t like
him. He is neutered, current
on shots and housetrained.
Stop in today to get some
sloppy slobber love from
Jabba. He could be your next
best friend.
Minnie is a small dainty
loveable little girl who came in
with a litter of kittens. Her
babies have all been adopted
and she is ready and waiting
for her forever family to find
her. She is spayed and current
on shots. Stop in today and
ask to see Minnie, she could
be YOUR true love.

“Thank you Manitowoc shoppers!
MANITOWOC PIGGLY WIGGLY STUFF-A-VAN EVENT
July 20th - After a week of oppressive heat and humidity, the
th
weather broke just in time for the July 20 Stuff-A-Van event at the
Manitowoc (Fox's) Piggly Wiggly. Not only did we see beautiful
weather and gorgeous temperatures, we were warmly welcomed by
the community that shops at the Manitowoc Pig! We met so many
wonderful people – some stopped and donated, others chatted
about their own furry family members and many donated with
purchased items from the store off of our wish list. Together we
raised over $450 AND literally STUFFED the van with much needed
items! This was our largest donation amount to date! A BIG Thank
You to the volunteers, many who spent a large part of their Saturday
helping hand out wish lists, run adoptables back and forth to the
event, talk to customers or help load the van. We appreciate your
time and energy and without you this event would not have been the
success that it was. Thank you also to Eric and Peggy at Fox's Piggly
Wiggly for allowing us to camp out in front of their store. And a BIG
THANK YOU to the Manitowoc Community for your generous
donations! We truly live in a wonderful community!

Farm Feline Program
Did you know LHS has a Farm Feline Program?
Did you know that you don't have to have a farm to
enjoy the benefits of the program? Lakeshore
Humane Society often gets in cats who are
unsocialized to people and/or have a great dislike
of being indoors. These kitties are labeled feral and
are spay/neutered, given their shots, ear tipped and
then we try to find a place where they can be
themselves. Lakeshore Humane needs more
caretakers for these cats. If you have a warm barn,
a business, or a shop that could use some rodent
control, we have the cats for you. There is no
adoption fee for “Farm Felines”. All we ask is that
the caretaker has a warm safe place for the cats to
go and leaves out fresh food and water for them. A
cat can't live on mice alone. Contact the shelter to
sign up for your working cat(s).
In 2013, you helped LHS raise $1336.
LHS still needs your help…please bring
your empty bagged aluminum cans to
the shelter.
Our goal for 2013 is
$2000.
“An educational event was held on Sunday July 28th called
Pawsapalooza Trivia and Scavenger Hunt. About 30 people
braved the looming rainclouds to attend the event--some came
prepared with umbrellas. Around $200 worth of donations were
collected as admission to the event. The Manitowoc Maritime
Museum donated a raffle prize for the event--a family membership
for one year to the Maritime Museum.
Participants were given a card with instructions on the maze of
question boards. When they were finished gathering all of the
correct answers to the questions--their card revealed a hidden
message as to the important things we do at the shelter.
To view the photographs from the event please go to

Proposed changes to the
LHS bylaws
LHS Board voted at the regular August
board meeting to propose two LHS
bylaws changes. Members in attendance
th
at the upcoming October 15 meeting &
election must approve them in order for
them to become valid.
One change was to have (quorum) the
minimum number of LHS members in
attendance in order to conduct

Dear LHS Member:
People around the world are touched by the work of nonprofit organizations. Many schools, foundations are nonprofit businesses; our air, water and lands are protected by
the work of non-profit societies. People support these
entities with gifts of time, energy, goods and money in an
effort to provide and support public service.
As a member of Lakeshore Humane Society, you are part of
this group. The LHS is a public service charity instituted to
relieve Manitowoc County of the burden to provide care and
shelter for the lost, orphaned and abandoned companion
animals in the County. The operation of the LHS is overseen
by a board of directors whose decision-making is managed
through committees. The sustainability of LHS lays in its
members who put their professional skills and experience to
work in these committees to help us make the world a better
place to support the human and animal bond.
Each committee takes a part of the overall workload. LHS is
governed by a working board. Committees make full use of
the time, expertise and commitment of its board members
and society members to address issues and achieve goals.
As a member of LHS, we are asking you to consider joining
us and working on one (or more) of these committees. We
have many issues demanding our attention and scarce
resources to handle them According to our by-laws, the
standing committees of LHS include:
1. Building & Maintenance -- recommends capital
improvements and repairs to the LHS physical plant and
grounds; oversees general maintenance and repairs as
needed or scheduled.
2. Finance -- led by the board treasurer and responsible for
overseeing the budget, financial controls, investments
and grants; also works with outside auditors to maintain
3.

6.
the accounting and financial reporting controls of the
LHS; makes recommendations to the board concerning
available use of capital.
Fundraising -- main focus is to create a plan that will
guide the organization to seeking out and secure
funding from an array of outside sources. The
committee must identify and communicate with
potential donors to support the work of the
organization and organize fund raising events.
Membership -- creates and implements recruitment
and retention programs to maintain and increase LHS
memberships.
Nomination -- works to cultivate, identify and suggest
suitable candidates for board positions; presides of the
annual election of board members that includes
membership roll, vote count and recount requests.
Personnel -- Guides the development, review and
authorization of job descriptions, personnel policies
and procedures, wages, and performance reviews for
shelter employees; supervises the activities of the
volunteer coordinator.
The LHS board also has the power to create special and/or
ad hoc committees at its discretion. Special committees as
of this date include:
1. Newsletter -- purpose and goal is to inform the LHS
membership of committee activities and report on
affairs that impact the well-being of the LHS and its
animals.
2. Public Relations & Public Outreach -- has the
responsibility to enhance the image of the LHS with
press releases, web and facebook content, and public
education programs.
If you are at all interested in being part of a committee to
help manage the business side of LHS or a volunteer to work
at event or on a shelter task, please contact LHS.
