QK9C is an all-volunteer organization. We have a network of volunteers across Illinois.
Our mission is to save unwanted shelter pets in the tri-state area from needless euthanasia by providing rescue, behavior rehabilitation and re-homing services; educate the public about responsible pet ownership; advocate for low-cost spay/neuter programs and raise awareness about the pet overpopulation problem plaguing our region.

History
Quincy K-9 Connection was founded in 2002 by Anne Heckle. However, rescue efforts among the group have continued for the past 20 years in an informal setting. QK9C has rescued and transported thousands of animals since its inception. In 2023, QK9C rescued more than 1300 animals.
A Very Heartfelt "Thank You"
To EVERYONE, near and far, who has helped us in one way or another throughout the years. We are a very small group of volunteers in Quincy, and without the help of our dedicated transporters, cross-posters, donations and amazing network of rescue groups and foster homes, we could not continue to save precious lives each week on the level that we have been able to do. Whether you have helped us a million times or once, your kindness never goes unnoticed and we truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The animals thank you as well!
