Don't Forget Japan's Animals

While there have been some heartwarming stories of animal survival in Japan--like the woman who came back to her ruined home and was delighted and surprised to see her cat coming down the stairs, or the story of the dog who stayed by its injured friend, protecting him/her until they were both rescued--the animal shelters and rescuers on the ground also need help. I was searching for links and these appear to be reliable.

 The Humane Society of the United States, one of my favorite charities, also looks like they are waiting to help as the conditions allow. As yet, they have no donation button on their website but it looks like they will be helping out.
