EMMA DOG

Meet: EMMA

Hello, aren't I cute? I'm Emma and I am only 7 months old. I love to be with people and I am a real lap dog. Even though I'm young, I already know "sit" and "down". I can't wait to go to school and learn some more things. I am a very quick learner. I need to find a home with someone who will give me lots of exercise. I am still a puppy so I chew things and I need help with housebreaking. Families with kids 8 and over are cool - I would knock over and little kids. If you already have a dog that's OK too.


WELCOME!

    About Us

    The Quincy Animal Shelter is a 100% volunteer-run organization. The Shelter has NO PAID STAFF and 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 3,600 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.
