ABOUT WEST END SHELTER FOR ANIMALS

West End Shelter for Animals is a no-kill, non-profit center in Ontario, CA, providing pet adoption, volunteer opportunities, and low-cost vaccinations.

Our Mission

To 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.

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.

No-Kill Policy

Our shelter operates under a strict no-kill policy, ensuring that every animal is given a chance to find a loving home without the fear of euthanasia.

Low-Cost Vaccinations

We provide affordable vaccination clinics on scheduled dates to ensure that pets in our community receive essential health care without financial burden.

Community Engagement

Our shelter actively engages with the Ontario community through events and partnerships to promote responsible pet ownership and animal welfare.

Adoption Services

We facilitate the adoption process for pets in need, ensuring that each animal is matched with a loving family that meets their needs and lifestyle.

Pet Care Resources

We offer a wealth of information and resources for pet owners, including tips on training, nutrition, and health care to support responsible pet ownership.

Support Our Mission

Your contributions help us continue our work in animal welfare. Donations, whether monetary or in-kind, make a significant impact on the lives of the animals we serve.

The West End Story

In June of 1954, a group of local residents formed the Humane Society of Chaffey Community as a more humane solution for the growing stray population. In those early days, we sold licenses to the public and provided animal control services.


In the late 80’s early 90’s a new chapter began for the shelter…

We adopted a no-kill policy, terminated all our animal control contracts and became West End Shelter for Animals, the shelter you know and love today!
