The tragic loss of life and destruction of Haiti’s infrastructure have been overwhelming. But in the aftermath, American Humane is determined to help.
Our Animal Emergency Services program manager, Tracy Reis, landed in Port-au-Prince today. She has joined our colleagues from the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) -- a group of professional animal welfare organizations, including American Humane, that is collaborating to help suffering animals in the region. The coalition is led by the World Society for the Protection of Animals and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
After consulting with Haiti’s minister of environment, Jean Marie Claude Germain, ARCH is helping injured, starving dogs in the city. Tracy and the team are setting up animal feeding stations and providing emergency veterinary care as you read this email.

Animal Relief: Critical for Public Health and Haiti’s Recovery
Helping Haiti’s people is obviously everyone’s chief priority. But the goals of helping people and helping animals are more connected than you might realize.
ARCH’s rescue and recovery efforts have been -- and will continue to be -- authorized by and coordinated with local government and international relief agencies. Everyone working in Haiti recognizes that, as with any disaster, addressing animal issues is essential.
Why? Families in Haiti will depend more than ever on their backyard farms for survival, and ARCH expects that livestock relief will be a significant part of our work in the weeks and months ahead. Plus, we expect to be helping stop the spread of disease by vaccinating pets and other animals.
It will be a long and difficult relief effort with multiple goals and phases. But we are committed to doing our part.
Please do your part by supporting our work with ARCH in Haiti, or by providing funds for future disasters!
