West End Shelter for Animals
Our Mission
At West End Shelter for Animals, our mission is to provide a compassionate, no-kill haven for pets in need, ensuring every animal receives dedicated care until they find a permanent, loving home. We are committed to fostering a community where pets are supported through every stage of their journey toward a happy life.
Our History and Community
Our journey began in June 1954 when local residents formed the Humane Society of Chaffey Community to offer a more humane solution for stray populations. Over the decades, we have evolved significantly, officially adopting a no-kill policy in the late 80s and early 90s to become the sanctuary for animals in Ontario, California, that we are today.
How We Care
We operate as a dedicated center where pets in our care stay with us safely until they are adopted or pass away from natural causes. Unlike foster-based models, our facility provides a consistent, stable environment for every animal, supported by our staff and a group of dedicated volunteers who ensure our residents are well-cared for daily.
Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to make that process as smooth as possible for you. We focus on matching each animal with a family that fits their specific needs and lifestyle, providing transparent resources and support to ensure a successful transition for both the pet and their new home.
