Here is a list of groups you may want to consider donating to, to help out with the rescue efforts.
Other than American Red Cross, I have never heard of any of these groups.

Found an article on pet rescue efforts.

I've not heard of any that article listed - other than the Red Cross.
There is always Best Friends. They were involved with Katrina and Haiti and a couple of places in the Middle East.
A couple of the places mentioned in their piece are in the one posted by you, Sandie.
Just be careful about charities that you don't know about. Unfortunately there are dirtbags who will take advantage of tragedies.
One should always consider the performance of a charity in relation to the CEO's pay.Quote:

I just donated 2500 yen = 31.47 usd via paypal. It was quite easy. I can't imagine how much suffering is taking place, including the animals left behind due to the circumstances.
Thanks for reminding us that the animals are at risk there, too.
Thank you for posting. I will send some money for a bunny.
After the New Zealand earthquake I donated through Samaritan's Purse because I know of them from church. After the Japanese earthquake, I got an e-mail from Samaritan's Purse reminding me I could donate online. Fortunately, April has 3 pay periods so I will be ahead enough again soon to make a donation somewhere.
There was a story of two dogs filmed in the aftermath of this disaster.

There is a link within the story/video to a facebook page created by a
rescue group specifically for animals. You might find a deserving group
on this page. Seems like they can use all the help they can get.

I didn't report it as a Cocker Spaniel but I also assumed it looked like that. That was the saddest video I ever watched, tore me apart.Quote:
