When Tropical Storm Isaac hit this past weekend, it only made life harder in Haiti, for people and animals alike. Our
team of veterinarians and emergency responders were on the ground
during and immediately after the storm -- visiting affected areas,
offering expertise and assisting with hands-on care of companion and
working animals in need.
Over the past few days, we've come across hundreds of injured animals -- including many suffering from open wounds. See
some of the animals we've helped so far -- then please make a donation
to our International Disaster Fund so we can continue to provide this
life-saving work.
Humane
Society International is one of the only international animal welfare
groups that has been on the ground in Haiti since the catastrophic
earthquake in 2010 -- when we opened our veterinary clinic just outside
of Port au Prince -- so we are able to provide short-term and long-term
recovery work. Our team will remain in Haiti for years to come,
offering help and services where it's needed most. We will continue to
do everything we can to help Haiti's people and animals.
In
the days and weeks ahead, the HSI team will focus its attention on
helping the animals and their families affected by these disasters
through offering care, supplies, food and much-needed veterinary
attention. Please,
make a donation to our International Disaster Fund today so that we can
continue to help those in Haiti and rescue animals from emergencies
everywhere.
