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

Quincy 300 Exhibit

Mayor Thomas P. Koch and the City of Quincy are proud to kick-off Quincy’s year-long celebration of the City’s 400th Anniversary with an immersive exhibit experience about the community’s 300th anniversary in Quincy’s Old Town Hall Museum located at 1305 Hancock St. Over 50 large-scale historic images will take visitors back to the seven days of the “Quincy Tercentenary” celebrations in 1925, and to the lives and landscapes of Quincy during prohibition and the rise of the automobile, radio and silent films. In addition, the exhibit includes the names of many of the community members who participated in the celebrations. “From June 7th-13, 1925, many of the 60,000 residents of this fast-growing gateway community known for granite quarries and shipbuilding came together to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the first European settlement in the City they knew as Quincy,” shared Mayor Koch. “As we look forward to the upcoming commemorative year, it is with appreciation that we look back on the achievements of our proud community 100 years ago.” The celebration in 1925 included an epic 3-hour community pageant with 1,200 volunteer actors and a chorus of 500, a three-mile-long parade that drew 140,000 spectators to watch 182 floats and over 10,000 participants, including 13 Civil War Veterans and Argentinian sailors. The museum exhibit will be open to the public Thursdays &amp; Fridays from 2:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from noon - 5 p.m. beginning Thursday, January 9th.
