Helping animals in Japan.

I haven’t posted about the events in japan, but i’ve been following closely with a heavy heart. What about the poor animals that are lost / hungry / starving or hurt?    The enormity of all this leaves me in a sad place.

The artists, bloggers, designers and businesses reaching out is inspiring.


I just read that my friends at Firstmate pet foods recently made a huge donation of pet food to help feed the dogs & cats in need in japan. thanks firstmate!


I have decided to forgo dinners out for the next month and  made donations to these organizations on behalf of  Aspen (above) who wanted to reach out to her  fellow international animal friends.  She was a rescue and knows what it is like to be hungry and scared.

Some facts about Animal rescue orgs. and great people doing great things in Japan:

Animal rescue kansai: helped over 600 animals after the Great Hanshin quake in 1995.


World vets: World Vets is a non-government organization (NGO) providing veterinary aid around the globe in collaboration with animal advocacy groups, foreign governments, US and foreign military groups and veterinary professionals abroad.

wspa: world society for the protection of animals has a 30 year history of helping animals in disasters.
