Fenway Bark’s Shelter Sundays




Back in February, we had an event at Fenway Bark called "Puppy Love" that was a huge success so we decided to continue our efforts to give back to shelters and rescues by offering a space to one shelter each Sunday to help with their efforts and hopefully find some much deserving animals a forever home!

Beginning on Sunday May 22nd, we’ll be featuring a different shelter on Sundays (excluding holidays).

Join us on Sunday May 22 from 1:00 – 3:00PM to meet the adoptable animals from QUINCY ANIMAL SHELTER


The Quincy Animal Shelter is a 100% volunteer-run organization. The Shelter has NO PAID STAFF and relies completely on our volunteers and the community for support. Incorporated in November 1999 as a non-profit Massachusetts charity, and also a recognized charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code. Since 1999 the Quincy Animal Shelter has placed more than 5,000 cats and dogs into loving and forever homes through out MA and New England.

As a "no kill" shelter, they make every effort to find the right home for every animal in their care. That means they exercise the same ethical and humane treatment of animals in their facility that you would for your own family feline or canine friend. Every animal receives age-appropriate vaccinations and, if old enough, is spayed or neutered before finding its forever family.

Delivering this type of care involves many volunteers, an active and dedicated management, and a lot of money. Their budget runs approximately $100,000 every year in order to keep doing what they do to help the dogs and cats of Quincy.

The capacity at the Shelter is limited to a maximum of 12 dogs and 15 to 25 cats, depending on ages and condition of the cats. Their dream is to eventually find a larger facility so they can continue their mission on a larger scale and serve the continuous needs of the community and the animals.

Ten percent of any purchase made between 12 and 3 pm on Shelter Sundays will be donated to the featured shelter to further their mission. So even if your home can't accommodate another pup or cat right now, the purchase of your weekly supplies at Fenway Bark during adoption Sundays will benefit their cause.  Make your plans to shop on Sunday at Fenway Bark to benefit the shelter who is featured that day.

Please tell your friends, co-workers and family about Adoption Sundays at Fenway Bark and help homeless animals find new forever homes and raise money toward their mission by doing your weekly errands for your pets!

Fenway Bark and Puppy Love on NBC News!

Fenway Bark and our Puppy Love event were featured on the NBC News this weekend to showcase a very successful event!  Over four hundred people and 150 dogs attended the event!

I want to thank every vendor who made a donation, met with our future clients and guests, and helped spread the word about the event.


I want to thank each of the people who came to the event and opened their heart and homes to adopt a homeless animal.  I also want to thank those who couldn't consider expanding their families but came to support the rescues and shelters who work tirelessly to support the placement of animals in good homes.

Finally, I want to thank my Fenway Bark team who worked so hard to make the event successful.  We defined the success of the event being the placement of homeless pets in their new forever homes and although the adoption process isn't immediate because of the vetting process of each charity, we are confident that dogs and cats found new forever homes last evening.

Below are the shelters and rescues that participated in the event:
Ahisma Animal Haven
Animal Protection Center of Southeastern Mass (APCSM)
The Boxer Rescue, Inc.
Dog Orphans
French Bulldog Rescue Network
North Attleboro Animal Shelter
Northeast Animal Shelter
Pittie Love Rescue
Poodle Rescue of New England
Quincy Animal Shelter


We have an incredible team who work very, very hard to make a positive difference for animals in our care whether its one dog or hundreds of dogs attending a charity event.  Thanks Team!

We look forward to having our Puppy Love guests visit us again.  If you like what you saw at Fenway Bark, please tell your friends, family and dog social/meet up groups.  If we can improve in any way or have suggestions on services or products you would like to see at Fenway Bark, please let me know by emailing me.

We look forward to continuing to support the animal rescue community.

Fenway Bark's store will be opening daily very shortly (we will post hours here when we are fully open) and our boarding/daycare will be opening in March.  We had some construction/financing closing delays but we are full steam ahead now.  Thanks to everyone who took the time to tell me how much they liked Fenway Bark and want us to open soon.  We appreciate your support.  We will open soon!  I promise!
