About Quincy Animal Shelter
Quincy Animal Shelter (QAS) is a nonprofit organization designated under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is recognized as a Massachusetts charity. As a no-kill shelter, we make every effort to find appropriate placement for each animal in our care. Since 1999, we have placed more than 8,000 cats and dogs into loving and forever homes throughout MA and New England.
Before adoption, all animals are checked by a veterinarian, spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, and have received age-appropriate vaccinations. Cats have been tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Dogs have been temperament tested and tested for Lyme disease, Heartworm, and other tick related diseases.
Delivering this type of care involves many volunteers, a dedicated Shelter Director and Board of Directors, and a lot of money. Our budget runs approximately $250,000 per year and we rely completely on the community for support. Here's how you can help QAS: volunteer your time; donate money or pet supplies; sponsor a cage or kennel; donate via your corporate matching gift program; become a QAS sponsor; purchase QAS wear; or attend a QAS event!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
