West End Shelter for Animals
To Hold Annual Yard Sale
Ontario, CA
– The West End Shelter for Animals will hold its Annual Yard Sale
on Saturday, October 4, 2008, from 8 am- 2 pm. The Shelter depends on
the Annual Rummage Sale to raise funds to continue running this no-kill,
non-profit, pet placement and adoption center, which opened in 1954. In
addition to the Rummage Sale, pet adoptions, the weekly shot clinic, and
donations from the community contribute to the operating budget of the
Shelter to keep it running smoothly.
This year’s Yard Sale is
particularly exciting, because it kicks-off the Shelter’s new
fundraising plan. The West End Shelter for Animals is raising funds to
renovate the existing senior canine buildings and construct a new
shelter building, which will include a veterinary clinic and new pet
adoption areas.
“The Annual Rummage Sale is a great time for the community to come out
and see the animals and contribute to the work of the Shelter,”
stated Anne Linquist, Director on the West End Shelter for Animals Board
of Directors. “We are extremely
excited to be embarking on our new fundraising campaign to provide a new
space for the animals and for future pet owners.”
The Shelter is also seeking
donations from the community to support its daily operations. The
following items are needed: cat litter, canned dog food, blankets,
bleach, paper goods, office supplies, dog collars and leashes,
newspaper, treats, and toys.
The West End Shelter for
Animals is located at 1010 E. Mission Blvd., in Ontario. Volunteers are
needed to work the day of the Rummage Sale, to help set-up, clean-up,
and sort merchandise. If you are
interested in volunteering for the Rummage Sale or for other tasks at
the Shelter, please log on to www.westendshelter.com
or call (909)947-3517.
