The earthquake in Haiti is being described as “catastrophic,” a disaster that plunged an already impoverished country into “ruins.”

Nations and nonprofit organizations around the world are rallying to provide food, water and medical care to people who are suffering – a major challenge given the massive destruction and widespread poverty in Haiti.

But we know you are asking yourself: What about the animals?

United Animal Nations has joined the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH), an international group of professional animal welfare organizations working together to help the animals affected by this tragedy.

Please donate to our Haiti Animal Relief Fund now to help the animals in Haiti receive the care they need.

ARCH is spearheaded by the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), of which UAN is a member organization. Through ARCH, relief teams will work out of a mobile clinic donated by the Antigua and Barbuda Humane Society. The clinic will be shipped to a WSPA member society, Sociedad Dominicana Para la Protección de Animales, in the Dominican Republic and driven across the border into Haiti. Once in Haiti, the team will administer emergency care to the animals and help animals belonging to people displaced by the disaster.

Through its Emergency Animal Rescue Service, UAN is used to being on the front lines of disaster response. But the situation in Haiti is extremely dangerous given public health and safety concerns. The best way UAN can help the animals is to make a financial contribution to support organizations that already have the knowledge and connections to reach the animals quickly. Please join us in this effort.

Your donation to our Haiti Animal Relief Fund will go directly to helping the animals in Haiti through the ARCH mobile clinic.

Thank you for being there when the animals need you most.
