What’s it like to be a volunteer during the rescue phase of an animal rescue? Ask four EARS volunteers who joined the sheriff and HSUS yesterday morning to seize the animals at Raven’s Hope.

Watch this news segment from WJBF Channel 6 to learn more about the second group of dogs rescued from a dogfighting ring in Georgia over the weekend.
Law enforcement officials say they received a tip about this situation from someone who had seen a segment on Channel 6 about the February 17 seizure of 26 dogs.

At the EARS volunteer training workshop, one of the themes covered is how volunteers should be ready for anything: “Be ready for circumstances to change at a moment’s notice," “be flexible," “be prepared for anything.” Well, today was a perfect example of that concept in a real deployment.
We got to the shelter at 8 a.m. and began our usual morning duties. The dogs have quickly adjusted to their new schedule; everything was very Zen as we went about our day calmly and quietly.

On its second day of operation in Haiti, the ARCH (Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti) field team traveled South of Port-au-Prince to the towns of Leogane and Jacmel. Unlike the capital city, these two rural areas have many farm animals.
On the way, the team encountered goats, pigs and dogs near a fruit and vegetable market set-up on the side of a dirt road, rummaging in the garbage for whatever food they could find.

Now that the field team from ARCH (Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti) is on the ground assessing the needs of the animals, we are starting to receive photos. As you can see from the images below, the devastation is widespread and the animals clearly need attention. We are happy that UAN is able to help the animal victims of the earthquake as a member of ARCH.
We will continue to post updates and photos as we get them.
