On March 11th, Japan was devastated by a magnitude-9.0 earthquake that was one of the largest on record. The earthquake then triggered a deadly tsunami that slammed into the east coast of Japan, leaving thousands of people dead, injured or missing.

In the days that have followed we have all been moved by the devastating scenes and traumatic stories about Japan that are literally unfolding before our eyes. We want to help our Japanese brothers and sisters since they are in desperate need of aid. Not only are the people there suffering and in need but the animals are also in need of rescue and shelter. In the past, Japan has also generously donated often when other countries have experienced disasters. It is now our turn to help them.

Here is a list of legitimate organizations that are working with those in Japan to assist them in this time of great need. Please donate to to the organization of your choice to help both the people and animals of Japan. Remember these words, " there but for the grace of God go I".
