10 Reasons NOT to Buy a Puppy from a Pet Store

Meet: SASSY

Hey, I'm Sassy! My name says it all - I'm not afraid to have fun and express my feelings. Just give me a squeaky toy or two and I'm good to go. I do ask for an occasional back scratch and I have a weakness for junk food. I need a family that will help me watch my weight and give me some exercise. I can live with adults and teenagers. I have lived with other dogs, but I am very picky about who is included in my pack. If you have a dog, we would have to meet first. Living with cats is not a good idea, I like to chase the little buggers!

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 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.
