West End Shelter For Animals

West End Shelter For Animals No-Kill, Non-Profit Animal Shelter in Ontario, California. West End Shelter for Animals is a no-kill, nonprofit animal shelter located in Ontario, California.

Since 1954, we’ve been committed to providing a safe haven for lost, abandoned, and unwanted pets—giving every animal the chance to be loved and adopted into a forever home. We proudly offer affordable vaccination clinics, and compassionate care for every animal that walks through our doors. Each of our pets is given a name, not a number, and treated like family until they find one of their own. Whether you're looking to adopt, volunteer, or support our mission, West End is here for the community—and for the animals who need us most.

🐾 Adopt. Donate. Volunteer.

A healthier community starts with healthier pets. 💚

We are incredibly grateful to Petco Love for granting West End Shelter for Animals the opportunity to provide FREE vaccination services to family-owned pets in our community.

Through our free vaccination clinics in May and our Free Feline Fridays, we were able to give pet owners an opportunity to keep their pets protected while helping remove a barrier to preventative veterinary care.

Most importantly, THANK YOU to every pet owner who participated. By getting your pet vaccinated, you are taking an important step toward responsible pet ownership and helping protect animals throughout our community.

Although our current free vaccination programs have concluded, we will continue exploring grant opportunities that may help us provide additional free and low-cost veterinary care. As similar opportunities become available, we hope to apply for additional funding that could allow us to offer free vaccination programs again in the future.

Thank you, Petco Love, for empowering us to make a difference. And thank you to our community for showing up for your pets.

We’re their voice. 💚🐾

🎃 COSTUMES, VACCINES & TREATS! 👻

We’re adding a little Halloween fun to our October vaccination clinics!

Bring your pet dressed in their Halloween best and let our staff snap a photo! 📸🐾

A few important costume rules:
🐾 Costumes must be safe and comfortable for your pet.
🐾 Costumes must be quick and easy to remove for vaccination.
🐾 Please remove any part of the costume that covers or restricts access to your pet’s shoulders/upper body before seeing the veterinarian.
🐾 Your pet does not need to stay in costume for their vaccines.

🎃 Not a fan of costumes? That’s okay!
We know dressing up isn’t every pet’s idea of a good time. Our costume-free friends are still welcome to join the fun and receive a FREE Pet Trick-or-Treat Bag while supplies last!

Not a fan of photos? That's okay!
Let our staff know that you would not like to be photographed. Our friends will still receive a FREE Pet Trick-or-Treat Bag while supplies last.

Costumes are just for fun — your pet’s comfort and safety always come first.

Meet Sunny! ☀️💚

Sunny is a sweet, affectionate girl with a big personality and plenty of energy! She absolutely loves attention and is always ready to give her favorite people plenty of kisses and hugs.

Sunny is smart, listens well, and already knows basic commands. She is also very treat and toy motivated, making continued training a great way to keep her engaged and build a bond with her. With her active personality, Sunny would make an amazing hiking or adventure buddy for someone who enjoys getting out and staying busy!

Sunny would do best as the only pet in the home. She likes to chase cats and can be selective about which dogs she enjoys being around. Because she can get a little enthusiastic with her hugs and kisses, she would also do best in a home without young children.

Sunny may need a specific kind of home, but we know the right family is out there for her. She has so much love and personality to share and would thrive with someone willing to give her the exercise, structure, continued training, and affection she deserves. 💚

✔️ Spayed
✔️ Current on vaccinations
✔️ House-trained
✔️ Knows basic commands
✔️ Treat & toy motivated

If you're looking for an affectionate, active companion to join you on your next adventure, come meet Sunny!

Meet Maisey! 🐾

For the past 44 days, Maisey has been waiting for someone to give her the second chance she deserves.

This beautiful German Shepherd mix is sweet, loving, playful, and always ready to spend time with the people she loves. She was recently returned to the shelter after not getting along with another female dog in the home. Since returning, we haven't observed that behavior here, and we're continuing to monitor her as she settles back into shelter life.

What we do know is that Maisey has a wonderful personality. She does great with kids, loves affection, and would make a loyal companion for a family looking for an active best friend. She has not yet been tested with cats.

✔️ Spayed
✔️ Current on vaccinations
✔️ Current on flea prevention
✔️ Microchipped

After 44 days, Maisey is more than ready to trade her kennel for a couch, daily walks, and a family to call her own. If you've been looking for a loyal companion with lots of love to give, come meet Maisey, you just might find your new best friend.

Meet Lillie & Louie!

These adorable siblings are looking for the forever homes they deserve.

Lillie, a beautiful calico tabby, and Louie, a handsome orange tabby, came to us after they were abandoned with their mother. Despite their difficult start in life, they've grown into sweet, loving, and playful cats who are ready to begin their next chapter with a family of their own.

Lillie can be a little reserved when meeting new people and appreciates a slow introduction. With a little patience, a few gentle scratches, and maybe a treat or two, her affectionate personality quickly shines through. Louie is curious, playful, and always eager to explore, making him the perfect companion for anyone looking for a fun-loving feline friend (even steals spotlights too!).

✔️ Spayed/neutered
✔️ Current on vaccinations
✔️ Current on flea prevention
✔️ FIV/FeLV negative

Whether you're looking to adopt one or hoping to keep this special pair together, Lillie and Louie are ready to fill a home with love, companionship, and plenty of purrs.

If you're interested in meeting Lillie or Louie, we'd love to introduce you!
