Joplin Update: Reunions Begin as Support Pours In
As Joplin copes with the aftermath of the most lethal single tornado on record, the ASPCA’s emergency response team continues to work tirelessly to rescue and shelter affected animals. More than 350 animals have been brought—most by their families—to the temporary shelter we’re operating in conjunction with the Joplin Humane Society.
Things are starting to look brighter for these animals. By Thursday morning, more than 60 had been reunited with their families! On Wednesday, even as the threat of more severe weather loomed, 20 pets went home in just one hour. Says ASPCA Senior Director of Field Investigations and Response Tim Rickey, a Joplin native: “It was a wonderful day.”
Our work is not yet done, and none of it would be possible without generous donations from our members, supply providers like PetSmart Charities and other in-state groups, and countless compassionate volunteers. On Wednesday alone, 150 volunteers arrived at our shelter to help, and we put them to work right away. And shelters around Missouri continue to accept adoptable animals from Joplin.
Says Rickey, “The outpouring of support from the community, the state and elsewhere has been exceptional.” -> FROM THE SITE 11/4/12 (LTEL):
Hurricane Sandy left a path of devastation and destruction
along the East Coast. As animal lovers, many of us are
concerned about pets of evacuees and other animal victims
of the storm. Thanks to your support, the ASPCA is able to
respond and provide relief in those areas most affected by
Sandy’s impact.
All New York City evacuation centers allow families to bring
pets, and the ASPCA has been working closely with them as well
as shelters on Long Island to care for more than 400 evacuated
pets.
Our field team is coordinating animal relief efforts, and we’re
distributing crates, food, litter and other supplies for
thousands of animals throughout the region.
We're committed to helping all storm victims get through this
difficult time. Please help us continue our efforts. 100% of
your gift today will go directly to our disaster recovery
efforts and others like them in the future.

notes: Crisis in Haiti: How the ASPCA Is Helping
With hearts and minds focused squarely on the devastating earthquake that occurred in Haiti on January 12, the ASPCA extends its full support to those organizations providing humanitarian relief in the ravaged island nation. Soon, the animal victims of this disaster will need help, too—that’s why the ASPCA has joined the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH).
ARCH was created to address the needs of animals in Haiti in this time of crisis. The coalition is headed by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), and in addition to the ASPCA, consists of a number of animal welfare groups including American Humane, Best Friends, the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International.
The ASPCA has joined ARCH with the belief that partnering across organizations is the most effective way to address the serious and enormous problems facing animals in Haiti. There are an estimated 5 million head of livestock in the country (mostly goats), a large stray dog population, and an untold number of companion animals and native wildlife all adversely affected by the earthquake.
Currently, a team of experts in animal emergency response is staging in the Dominican Republic waiting to get into Haiti to begin work. IFAW and WSPA have also begun to stock a mobile clinic with vaccines, antibiotics, bandages, food and other supplies in anticipation of bringing direct aid to animals.
The ASPCA has committed to providing logistical support to the disaster responders from the U.S. In addition, the ASPCA stands ready to deploy highly skilled and specially trained members of our own Field Investigations and Response Team to the area.
As part of ARCH, the ASPCA urges you to donate directly towards the animal welfare Haitian relief efforts by visiting IFAW or WSPA. If you would like to contribute to these efforts, please donate here:
