This particular humane society is in the habit of taking innocent pet lovers to court on frivolous charges, only to receive monies from the court. I personally observed a mentally disabled woman who is presently trying to defend herself in court. Her indoor cat got outside and she couldn't find him until 4 days later. Her cat is 12yrs old. Her cat was always a small size cat. When she found him after being outside for those 4 days, he looked like he was severely beaten up by someone or something. The woman lives on social security and due to financial difficulties, she went to the humane society for help. They told her that the only way they can help him, she would have to sign him over to them, relinquishing any rights to the cat. The next day, the humane society had already euthanized him. This woman cried for 2 wks+ over this. She is a animal lover and always has been. PLEASE think twice before donating money to a nonprofit that has such scamming ways to get their money. Please do not donate to this nonprofit. There are so many good nonprofits out there that will make a better use of your donations.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: To provide a gentle and caring haven for the homeless, abandoned, and injured animals of lake county and persevere in defending and protecting animal life through education, integrity, and leadership.
Programs: Animal husbandry and pet adoption: lake humane society provides a gentle and caring haven for over 1,200 homeless, abandoned, and injured animals of lake county and the surrounding communities annually. Not only does lhs provide care for cats and dogs, but the organization also cares for, defends, rehabilitates, and rehomes rabbits, chickens, pocket pets, and other domestic animals. Special care is used with the animals that are seized from their owners and lack the social skills and training to feel comfortable in a new home. Time is not an issue for our compassion and kindness for these fragile animals.
outreach & education: lake humane society strives to serve as an invaluable resource to their community by assisting pet owners and their pets. Lhs educates the community on the proper treatment of animals and provides low-cost vaccine clinics and obedience training for adopters and community members. Lhs offers assistance and advice to pet owners in order to keep pets in their homes.
shelter medicine: lake humane society runs an on-site clinic to provide medical care and treatment to pets in our collection. All pets are vaccinated to promote safety and disease prevention within our community; they spay/neuter all cats, dogs and rabbits to control pet overpopulation; microchip adoptable pets to ensure they are returned to their family if ever lost. In addition to this "standard" medical care, lhs also helps pets in need of medical treatment, surgeries, and medication. Each animal is an individual, and their medical treatment is personalized to suit their condition and stage in life. Lhs also offers an after hours hotline to help good samaritans and our local police who have found injured animals in need of care.
humane investigation: lake humane society provides protection to the companion animals of lake county through their humane investigations department. Lhs employs the only humane agent in the county, who was appointed by the lake county probate court. The humane agent investigates reports of suspected animal abuse, neglect, and cruelty, and assists in the prosecution of animal cruelty cases. Volunteer program: lake humane society relies on dedicated volunteers and fosters to help make their mission come to life. With a limited staff of just 15 people, the organization turns to volunteers to assist with animail care, enrichment, foster care, customer service, off-site events, clerical duties, and more. The volunteer program at lhs provides animal lovers with the rewarding opportunity to help homeless pets in need right here in their very own community.
