​Who We Are

Picture
Quincy K-9 Connection (QK9C) is a non-profit 501(c)3 rescue organization. We are an all-volunteer group dedicated to giving second chances to animals in our area’s high-kill shelters. We are based in Quincy, Illinois but we serve needy shelter animals in Illinois as well as parts of Missouri and Iowa. Our network of volunteers spans this entire geographic area and beyond.


What We Do

Picture
Upon an animal’s arrival to one of our area’s high-kill shelters, we obtain a photograph and create a short biography. Licensed rescue groups are then contacted with this information. When one of them commits to a particular animal, transportation is arranged to get the animal to his or her destination. Animals picked up by animal control have five days for their owners to reclaim them. Once that time is up, the animals are available to be adopted or placed with a licensed group. If a shelter is full, owner surrendered animals can be euthanized immediately. We post these pets to rescue groups right away in an attempt to save their lives.


How to Help

There are numerous ways to help! We are a small group of volunteers who are responsible for photographing, fostering, and transporting dogs, cats, and an occasional pig or bunny from Quincy to the Greater Chicago area and beyond.
