Help the animal victims of Haiti

Jan 15, 2010

No-one can help but be shocked by the degree of devastation and suffering caused by the recent earthquake in Haiti. Humanitarian agencies and governments are responding to the disaster and people around the world are coming together to help in any way they can.

The animal victims of this disaster will desperately need help too, and animal welfare groups are joining forces to come to their aid.

You can get breaking news from WSPA on our disasters blog or on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Working together for animals in a disaster

Together, the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) will be working on the ground to help the animals in Haiti.

We have developed the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) to assist in the response efforts, and all animal welfare organisations are invited to join ARCH and direct their financial support to the coalition.

How will we deliver aid?

Our teams will be working out of a mobile clinic which has been donated to us by the Antigua and Barbuda Humane Society.

WSPA and IFAW have pledged funds to fully outfit this mobile clinic, and it will be shipped from Antigua to our member society, Sociedad Dominicana Para la Protección de Animales (SODOPRECA), in the Dominican Republic for them to drive across the border into Haiti.

When people join together, amazing things can happen. Please join us now and donate to help the animals of Haiti, and the thousands of other animals that will be affected by disasters to come.

Thank you for caring about animals affected by disasters.
