Starting the new year with some new fosters🐶
Peaches is our diabetic boy. He is 4 years old and is the sweetest cat ever! He loves to cuddle and loves playing with his toys! And he is available for adoption!
Our two little female puppies are Sky (black one) and LadyBug (white one). They are just under 2 weeks old and they are the cutest chihuaha beagle mixes with big personalities!🐾

Foster care is very important to the happiness and health of the animals like our Peaches and puppies! It provides a home environment that can help animals learn/get used to home behavior. Foster care can also help shelters provide more spaces for animals in need! Our animals love our foster homes, but would love nothing more than a furever home to call his own!💙

Our Story

The Quincy Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, now known as Quincy Humane Society, was founded on July 20, 1880, and is one of the oldest, continually operating humane organizations in the United States. Quincy Humane Society did not begin sheltering homeless animals until 1939 at the 3100 State Street location. A few years later, Quincy Humane Society began assisting the city of Quincy with animal control problems and officially took over the Quincy Animal Control contract in 1980. In 2003, when the animal control contract was up, Quincy Humane Society decided to not place a bid on the contract, and instead decided to become a privately funded, no-kill shelter. The decision was made to focus on preventative programs to assist a wide range of clients.

Each year, Quincy Humane Society holds several fundraisers. Our two largest fundraisers are the Mutt Strut (Fall) and the Fabulous Fur Ball (Spring), The Mutt Strut is a family friendly event where participants can take their furry friend on a mile walk, participate in different contests, and enjoy a variety of vendors. The Fabulous Fur Ball is a Vegas themed cocktail event with casino tables and professional dealers. We also hold several smaller fundraising events throughout the year. In order to keep our shelter operating, these fundraisers are critical to our success.

We are proud to be a privately funded, No-Kill facility. Without our generous donors and volunteers, we simply could not accommodate and care for all the animals that we help daily. Quincy Humane Society is always accepting volunteers that can assist us with a variety of tasks around the shelter and assist with community outreach events. Along with accommodating and caring for the animals in our shelter, we couldn’t save as many lives as we do without the dedication of our volunteers in our foster program. There are times when we take in animals that are not ready to be adopted and we have a wide array of fostering needs.

Quincy Humane Society is located at 1705 North 36th Street, Quincy, IL 62301. Viewing hours are Monday – Thursday and Saturday, 11:30am to 5:00pm; Friday 11:30am to 6:00pm. For more information, please call 217-223-8786 or visit our website at www.quincyhumanesociety.org
