The world continues to respond to the need for assistance in Haiti after the devastating earthquake that hit the island nation this week. And Best Friends will be part of that effort as a member of a newly formed, special relief group — the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH).

Best Friends has joined the coalition because the disaster is so widespread that intense focus of available resources through a single group is critical in order to attain the best possible outcome for animals that are at risk. The coalition is led by World Society for the Protection of Animals and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

In the coming days, members of the coalition, including Best Friends, hope to send staff, specially trained volunteers and crucial resources to Haiti to assist animals in need. Access to Haiti continues to be difficult, but the coalition is diligently working to gain access to the country.

The coalition is working to establish a mobile clinic that can deliver food and water to animals in the areas around the capital city of Port-au-Prince, as well as provide vaccinations to community dogs to help prevent the spread of rabies.

Best Friends will continue to monitor developments and report our future plans as they are solidified.
