As of 2/8/10, ARCH (Animal Relief Coalition of Haiti) had treated nearly 750 animals. As the full earthquake damage to animals unfolds, focus also turns to their lasting welfare. ARCH is working with Haitian government officials to create animal facilities and services that did not exist pre-earthquake.

Long after ARCH leaves Haiti, its work will serve the animals and people who live there.

Kinship Circle and other global animal protection groups in ARCH have pledged time, money and/or volunteers to remain in Haiti to:

• Setup a mobile veterinary clinic for Port au Prince and rural communities.
• Support and implement training of veterinarians and animal health technicians.
• Create a refrigeration system to maintain a "cold chain" for storage and distribution of medicines.
• Design public awareness/education campaigns in Haiti and Creole.
• Vaccinate 3 million chickens for Newcastle disease and 2 million for Charcoal disease...
• Activate a Vaccination Preventive Care Program for many more diseases and species.
• Treat 3 million animals (anyone with a hoof!)...

We need your support to carry out this plan — so Haiti’s animals can better survive the next disaster...and every day in between!

Kinship Circle — a nonprofit network of animal disaster responders in the U.S. and Canada — has assembled a Haiti team on standby to deploy, including a veterinarian, vet tech, ACO, and adept first responders. After Haiti's 7.0 earthquake devastated Port-au- Prince and nearby areas, Kinship Circle joined animal protection organizations worldwide to form Animal Relief Coalition of Haiti (ARCH), jointly led by International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA).

ARCH was formed so that we could work together to bring aid to as many animals, and in as short a time, as possible. At present, ARCH partners include:
