Quincy Humane Society

Staff and Volunteers from the Quincy Humane Society are invited to go to many classrooms and events around town to teach children and adults the proper care of animals. These adventures are both educational and fun. We usually bring animals from the shelter and other props that go along with our speeches. If you have an event that you would like to see us at, please contact us well in advance and we will try to be there.

The Quincy Humane Society often hosts tours of our facility upon request. These tours are educational, and great for school field trips, daycares, girl scout troops, and other organizations. If interested in learning more about the Quincy Humane Society and our facility, please contact our special events coordinator to schedule a tour.

Each year, the Quincy Humane Society hosts “Kids for Critters Summer Camp”. After registering, children from the area come to the shelter to learn about animals. Guest speakers such as veterinarians, animal control officers and other professionals that work with animals. We sometimes go on field trips to other organizations, such as Katherine Road Animal Hospital’s Raptor Rehabilitation Center or Julie Inghram’s horse farm. Interactions with animals is provided on a daily basis. Children learn about the importance of spaying/neutering pets, how to properly care for animals, how to teach dogs and cats tricks using positive reinforcement, etc.

The 2009 Summer Camp is now full. Please check back next year for information on how to get your child involved!
