The country is facing a severe animal overpopulation problem, and spaying or neutering the pets that leave our facility ensures we do not contribute to that epidemic. If it was not state law, we would do it anyway. It is a state law in Illinois that all animals adopted from an animal shelter are spayed or neutered before leaving.

Why are all your animals spayed or neutered?.

In most cases, we spend hundreds of dollars on each animal that stays with us. Animals adopted from us are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and seen by a veterinarian regularly. The adoption fee we charge offsets the services we provide for the animal.

Our animals stay with us until they get adopted. We are a non-profit, privately funded, no-kill animal shelter. The Quincy Humane Society is NOT a pound.

Why do you charge so much for animals from the “pound”?.

Generally, an animal is placed on hold for 48 hours. An animal can only be placed on hold after an application is approved. We may continue to accept applications for an animal that is on hold, but he/she cannot meet with or be adopted by another family until the hold has expired. While on hold, the animal is “reserved” for the approved adopters. This will give potential adopters the opportunity to think about the big decision to adopt an animal, purchase supplies, or travel to Quincy. If an application is approved, we can place an animal on a temporary hold.

What does it mean to put an animal on hold?.

It is important to remember that we may have multiple applications for one animal, and our goal is to match the animal with the best fit for them. We rarely allow an animal to go home the same day. Adoption applications generally take approximately 24-72 hours to process. In most cases, we will require any potential adopters to meet and interact with the animal before putting it on hold. An adoption counselor will look over the application and verify any information with landlords, past/present veterinarians, and also do a background check. If you are interested in adopting an animal, you first must fill out an application. Please contact us at 21 if you have additional questions.
