We adopted a dog from Lakeshore Paws and I'm so pleased with how it went. Admittedly I had a…read morenot-so-great experience with them 5 years ago when we were first looking to adopt, but I think they've made a lot of changes and I'm really glad we gave them another chance when searching for a second pup. When we arrived they gave us a tour of their dogs - their facility is very large and all the dogs housed there had decently-sized spaces. We originally just went to take a look, but we saw a dog we liked and ended up playing with him a bit in a separate location while supervised, we filled out an application at a computer they had there, and made plans to bring our other dog in the next day so they could meet. After the dogs met in isolated locations both outside and inside, they let us take the dog home for a foster-to-adopt situation where we could basically do a week-long trial run. We ended up extending that for a second week which was extremely helpful before finalizing the adoption. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly and helpful, down-to-earth and you could tell just trying to do their best for the dogs there. We did have an emergency with the dog (swallowed something he shouldn't have!) where we reached out, and Lakeshore Paws was quick to answer and give us directions (head to the ER!). Overall they made the adoption process easy and also thoughtful (the foster-to-adopt was really such a good idea) and were very helpful throughout. I would definitely recommend starting with them if you are looking to adopt a new family member.

We went to lakeshore paws on Aug 29,2026 and was treated horribly by the front desk girl. she was…read morevery rude and not friendly at all. when asked if we had an application on file we said yes. she proceeded to say that our application was not approved because they couldn't get a hold of our vet and landlord. no one ever called us to let us know they had an issue. when we told them we already spoke to our vet she wouldn't even listen. we asked if we could see some puppies that we seen on their website she very rudely said they already have appointments. we have never treated so rudely. if this place doesn't need people to adopt their dogs then we will find another shelter to adopt from.

I adopted 2 domestic black cats: Leo & Midnight. They came as a pair. Background check, application…read moreprocessed, only $60.00 they both were microchip, vaccinated, spayed and neutered, ventinary check up to deem the health. The past 3 months have been fun. Midnight, is female, sits on the top of the living room chair watching out the window. Friendly, lovable, meows for me to pet her; such a stress reliever. Leo, the male, is shy. He will spend most of his time downstairs. The cats are quiet, clean, low-maintenance for the life I live. The animal control personal were very professional. The animals were shown care. I appreciated the genuine attitude the building and staff showed. If interested in a pet give a sheltered animal a chance because animals adopted from shelters typically cost less than ones purchased or even acquired for free--once you add in the cost of vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, microchip, dewormer, and other "tide bits" included in your adoption fee, you'll probably be surprised what a bargain it is to have chosen an adopted pet. Most shelters and rescue groups conduct thorough behavioral analyses of each pet to get a better ideal that they will be the right piece for your family. Schererville Animal Control did this and told me if anything happens to please bring the pets back. I can not recommend to adopt a shelter animal anymore than buying from a pet store etc. Most pets end up homeless through no fault of their own--"moving" and "landlord issues" are the top reasons people give for relinquishing their pets, please check out your local shelter. It was definitely 100% worth it for my children and I.

The place is small, dingy, and in all honesty I feel needs to be bigger to accommodate. Not their fault. They are constantly trying to clean out cages, sweep & mop floors, and care for their residents. Expect a lot of noise, because the dogs like to let you know they're there. Ha! The dogs and cats are separated and you can take your time looking at and visiting with the animals. The dogs are inside, but go out to runs regularly. The cats are caged of course. They also occasionally take in other animals. If you choose to adopt, the paperwork is pretty simple and the fees are reasonable. You can view the animals on their website or visit their page on Facebook.

I meant to leave this review about a year ago when I adopted our kitten from there, but forgot…read more i was there with my three year old, and the young woman whom showed us cats was so patient and helpful. she quickly realized the cat we came to see was simply NOT compatible with my son, and switched the script very politely. we ended up connecting with a kitten that is the perfect match for our family. I would have never gone the route she suggested (younger, male cat) but thank goodness I listened to her. he is my sons best friend. cat adopted was a black male cat named forrest at the time- if the shelter wants to look into who helped me and give her a raise :)

I can't believe I hadn't reviewed Adopt previously. My dear sweet Calliecakes is from this shelter,…read moreso I am forever grateful that they rescued her. My parents saw her at the shelter back in 2012 and texted me her photo (because they knew I wanted a cat), and I was like "yes absolutely I want her I will come get her." And the rest is history -- it's been 11 great years with my bestie (and hopefully many more). And then a year later, almost to the day, my parents were like "hey let's go to Adopt" the day after Thanksgiving and they ended up getting a cat (their second) for themselves. I haven't been back to the shelter since 2013 when I went with them when they decided to get their cat, but at that time the shelter was super nice and they had several rooms where cats could roam free. It was a nice, no-stress situation to be able to sit on a sofa or on the floor and have the cats come check you out. So many snuggles. And I follow them on Instagram and they continue to do great work and care deeply for the animals they rescue. Definitely check them out if you are looking for a new best friend! And now enjoy the cat photo spam/cat tax :)
