Meet: TRUDY

Hi! I'm Trudy, a super-sniffin' Hound Mix! I follow my nose wherever I go, hoping to find some tasty treats. I would like to find a home with people that have time to do a little training with me, and take me for long walks. I can live with teenagers and adults. I love the dog park and I'm quite social with each and every dog I meet!

***** Meet TRUDY by appointment only - please email: caninemanager@quincyanimalshelter.org for appointment. *****

Meet: PRINCESS

My name is Princess and I'm a 5 year old Staffordshire Terrier. My favorite things in life are squeaky toys, tennis balls and cuddling with humans. I would like to go home with people who have experience with my breed. I can live with families with older teenagers, but no cats or other dogs.

Meet: LUKE

AVAILABLE NOW: Best Buddy For Life! I'm Luke, the coolest dude at the Shelter. I have one "once in a lifetime" opportunity for you! I am young, intelligent, active, loyal, funny and not to mention shamefully handsome. I dig other dogs and kids 16 and over. Act now, I'm a popular guy and I'll go quick!

Meet: DUSTY

Hey, look at me! My name is Dusty, and I am a spunky 4 year old Shih Tzu mix. I need some new parents that have experience with training dogs. I can be a little stubborn, and I need to learn to share. However, I make an excellent companion, and I'll insist you take me for walks every day. I like *some* dogs, but I cannot live with kids - adults only please.

About Us

The Quincy Animal Shelter is a volunteer-run organization. The Shelter relies completely on our volunteers and the community for support. Incorporated in November 1999 as a non-profit Massachusetts charity, we are also a recognized charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code. Since 1999 the Quincy Animal Shelter has placed more than 5,000 cats and dogs into loving and forever homes through out MA and New England.

As a "no kill" shelter, we make every effort to find the right home for every animal in our care. This means we exercise the same ethical and humane treatment of animals in our facility that you would for your own family feline or canine friend. Every animal receives age-appropriate vaccinations and, if old enough, is spayed or neutered before finding its forever family.

Delivering this type of care involves many volunteers, an active and dedicated management, and a lot of money. Our budget runs approximately $100,000 every year in order to keep doing what we do to help the dogs and cats of Quincy. Please visit our Volunteer and Wish List pages to find out about ways you can help.

Our capacity at the Shelter is limited to a maximum of 12 dogs and 15 to 25 cats, depending on ages and condition of the cats. Our dream is to eventually find a larger facility so that we can continue our mission on a larger scale and serve the continuous needs of the community and the animals.
