Grand Opening: City of Quincy Animal Care Center

Join the City of Quincy for the grand opening of its new state-of-the-art Animal Care Center—home to the Quincy Animal Shelter, Police Canine Unit, and Animal Control. The event will take place on Saturday, May 10th, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at 99 Quarry Street, Quincy, MA 02169. Members of the community are invited to attend. This new facility marks a significant milestone for the City and its residents, as it brings together three essential services under one roof: the Quincy Animal Shelter, the Quincy Police Department Canine Unit, and Quincy Animal Control. Designed to provide safety, care, and support to animals in need, this new home exemplifies the City’s dedication to animal welfare and public service. The journey to this grand opening is rooted in years of dedication and planning. Originally, the Quincy Animal Shelter operated out of a modest facility on Broad Street, supported by a passionate team of volunteers. In 2023, the City relocated the Broad Street shelter to make way for the new Public Safety Headquarters, scheduled to open this fall. During the transition, the Quincy Animal Shelter was temporarily housed at 440R East Squantum Street, ensuring continuity of services and care while the new permanent facility was under construction. In addition to housing and caring for homeless and stray animals, the new animal shelter will soon launch animal enrichment programs and a pet food donation initiative to assist families in need— offering crucial support to both pets and people in challenging times. Additional details on these programs will be announced in the coming weeks. Visit quincyanimalshelter.org for more information. Attendees can tour the facility, meet members of the dedicated animal care and public safety teams, and learn more about the services that will soon be available to the community.&nbsp; The City of Quincy looks forward to welcoming residents, supporters, and animal lovers of all ages to celebrate the opening of this landmark facility and the start of a new chapter in community animal care
