Quincy Animal Shelter

Animal shelter in Quincy, MA

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!
