ASPCA, Best Friends Animal Society, American Humane Association and The Humane Society International joined the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti to help the animals affected by the earthquake.

It is estimated that here are an estimated 5 million livestock in the country, a large stray dog population, companion animals and native wildlife.

The international coalition is preparing a mobile animal clinic and staff to perform outreach work in Haiti. The coalition will also be assessing and assisting with the needs of animals belonging to people displaced by the disaster, as they move into temporary camps and shelters. Plans include providing food and clean water, as well as vaccinating companion animals against rabies.
