Quincy K-9 Connection - Animals in Need of Rescue, Quincy, IL

Website

Quincy K-9 Connection - Animals in Need of Rescue, Quincy, IL When shelters ask for help, we respond by networking and transporting animals-at-risk to safe places. We primarily release to licensed rescues.

(DISCLAIMER) Quincy K9 Connection does not adopt to individuals like many shelters do. We post dogs/cats for different shelters with the goal of saving each from being euthanized. We will transport 20+ dogs/cats from Quincy every Saturday to licensed foster-home based rescue groups mostly around Chicago. (DISCLAIMER) We do not typically answer questions via Facebook. PLEASE email the contact person attached to the animal's picture and you should receive a response fairly quickly. Our volunteers who maintain this page work full time and are busy caring for animals when not working. They do not have tons of time to monitor the page for questions.

*****Quincy K-9 Connection could use your help, weekly transports are costing approximately $100 just from Quincy to Springfield, our funds are getting low and may need to cut back on transport runs, if you would like to help please go to our website www.qk9c.org*******
