Help the Animals in Japan!

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan was extremely devastating to the natives of the country, and even people who have never been to Japan before. People from all over the world want to help the citizens of Japan, and also help the animals in Japan. If you are interested in helping the animals in Japan, there are many ways to do so!

Many American organizations are reaching out to Japan to help the animals who are in need of assistance and are in much danger. The World Vets are providing veterinary aid to animals around the world. In this case, the World Vets have deployed a first responder team to Japan. The World Vets have joined forces with many other foreign groups, and are working with the US Army veterinary associates who are stationed in Japan. They are also working with Japanese animal charities.

Right now, the World Vets are also collecting donations of medications (vaccinations, de-worming medicines, wound treatments, fluid replacements, cages, etc) and supplies. If you are interested in helping, or donating please see their website. You can send supplies and mediations to their headquarters in Fargo, North Dakota.

PETA is asking people to donate to their Animal Emergency Fund, on their website. This imperative fund allows PETA to provide assistance through rescuers, veterinarians, and experts to animals after natural disasters occur. The Animal Emergency Fund also helps PETA establish a way of offering information on how to protect animals before disasters happen.

The Search Dog Foundation has created six Canine Disaster Search Teams who have been deployed to Japan. They are accepting donations on their website, and are also updating everyone what is going on in Japan day-by-day on their website, too. You can also see videos of the search teams who were deployed to Japan.

There are also many organizations in Japan who are trying to aid the animals, like the Animal Refuge Kansai (ARK). ARK wants to house as many animals as they can— who have been displaced, and are now homeless because of the recent earthquake and tsunami. You can also donate to ARK on their webpage.

Helping Japan is crucial at this point—even animals are helping other animals. Take a peek at this video (from lifewithdogs.tv) about one dog that will not leave his injured dog friend. Please help out our furry friends in Japan, because they are most definitely in need! All donations, no matter large or small—count in saving one animals life.
