The Quincy Animal Shelter was incorporated in January 2000 as a not-for-profit Massachusetts charity. In our first year, we placed more than 500 unwanted dogs and cats into loving homes. As a "no kill" shelter, we make every effort to find an appropriate placement for every animal rendered into our care. This means we exercise the same ethical and humane treatment of animals in our care that you would for your own family feline or canine friend. Every animal is fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered (if old enough) before finding its family.
