Mission Statement
Provide a non-kill alternative to pet owners (pet housing and adoption); offer low cost vaccination services to help reduce suffering, disease and death; and promote the spaying or neutering of pets to reduce the number of unwanted surplus animals.
About Us
Humane Society of the Chaffey Community (DBA West End Shelter for Animals), located at 1010 East Mission Boulevard in Ontario, California is a 501(c)(3) organization nonprofit, no-kill placement and adoption center.
Sociable homeless cats and dogs are surrendered by owners who can no longer keep them for various reasons and they remain with us indefinitely until we find them a new home. They shelter can provide temporary homes for up to 200+ cats and dogs. In addition to working with pet owners, we rescue a number of cats and dogs from county shelters where they await euthanasia due to pet overpopulation.
We receive no government funding; therefore, we depend excessively on grants, fundraisers, adoption fees, our low-cost vaccination clinic, and your generosity to fund our work.

Our History
In 1954, the Humane Society of Chaffee Community was formed by a group of local residents and later (1994) became the West End Shelter for Animals - a no kill, non-profit organization, which we refer to today as a pet placement and adoption center.
Our Goal
Provide a temporary home where owners can turn over their pet for adoption knowing that it will be well cared for until a new home is found, not killed in a few days.
Be an excellent resource for the community to locate and adopt a sociable pet companion, as well as a center for public pet education and low-cost services and referrals to the community.

Our Awesome Team!
The shelter has eight paid employees, five directors, and a number of both regular and part-time volunteers. Our regular volunteers see to it that all of our pets receive socialization, such as dogs visiting our large pens to socialize with other dogs and taking those much needed walks and general interaction with people. Cats are permitted to run free in the cat building, while their rooms are cleaned. They too can socialize and wander outside in our enclosed outdoor area donated by our friends at the Purrfect Fence company. The cat building houses 38 individual feline flats, each with a window that make up this unique cat oasis, complete with furnishings, such as cat trees, beds, and toys, while they await adoption.
