Lake Shore Animal Shelter was founded in 1966 by Dr. Lloyd Preshun, a prominent small-animal Veterinarian on Chicago's north side. Dr. Preshun's dream was to create the first animal shelter run as nearly as possible along the same basis as human adoption agencies. One of the first "No-Kill" shelters in the nation, Lake Shore was originally incorporated as the "Lake Shore Foundation for Animals." In 1996, our name was changed to the "Lake Shore Animal Shelter," to reflect the increasing role of public support in our shelter operations. Lake Shore was one of only very few life-saving resources available to people and their pets in Chicago for many years, and a true pioneer in the No-Kill animal shelter and adoption movement
