Cities within the Inland Empire collaborate to establish a cutting-edge animal shelter, marking a significant modernization in animal care facilities.
In the heart of California's Inland Empire, a beacon of hope for shelter animals has emerged. The Animal Resource Center (ARC) of the Inland Empire, a collaborative effort between Chino, Ontario, and Montclair, officially opened its doors in August 2025.
The modern facility, designed with the welfare of animals at its core, aims to provide a centralized location for the care and rehoming of animals in the region. Equipped with advanced shelter amenities, the new ARC offers safe housing, training, and medical care for dogs and cats.
This regional collaboration is more than just a shelter—it's a testament to the combined resources and expertise of the three cities. Since its inception, ARC has been actively engaging with local partners and rescue organizations, fostering a strong network for animal adoption and care.
The new ARC facility, located on Bon View Avenue and Eucalyptus Avenue in Ontario, is set to be larger than the current state-of-the-art animal shelter. Chino Hills is expected to join the ARC team in the next two years, further expanding its reach and impact.
Local control is a priority for the ARC team, with the cities of Ontario, Riverside County, and soon Chino Hills contributing to the cost of the new facility. The projected growth of the three cities, which together are expected to have a combined population of over half a million people, underscores the growing need for such a facility.
ARC is not just for traditional pets—it also accommodates farm animals. In its first few weeks of operation, dozens of new four-legged friends have already been welcomed at the centre, with more transfers coming in from around the region.
At the helm of ARC's community engagement efforts is Samantha Lara, the community engagement manager. Progress and activities related to ARC have been shared via social media, demonstrating transparency and community involvement in the centre’s development and operations.
As ARC continues to grow and evolve, it stands as a shining example of a community coming together to make a difference in the lives of animals in need.
