The Animal Rescue Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need — providing food for some of the eight million companion animals relinquished to shelters in the U.S. every year. But our hopes also extend far beyond U.S. borders. Animals around the world need our help, as evidenced by the recent earthquake in Haiti.
At The Animal Rescue Site, we would like to thank all of you for your immediate and overwhelming response to help animals in Haiti. The news doesn't talk much about the need animals experience during times of crisis, but you remembered — and you acted, raising over $234,613 to help them.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare's Director of Emergency Relief, Ian Robinson, brings the situation in Haiti into clear focus: "The condition of these animals before the earthquake was not good, so we can't just simply put things back as they were. We need to deliver immediate relief to animals and to develop long-term plans for a lasting good."
Your amazing generosity means more than survival to the animals of Haiti. It means that they have a future. Thank you for your strength and support!
