On August 16, 2007 a magnitude 7.9 earthquake hit the coast of Peru, killing hundreds and leaving thousands homeless. Countless animals have been affected by this disaster and foreign aid has been slow to arrive. A small group of trained American animal rescuers are coordinating relief efforts with the Peruvian animal rescue groups. More help is desperately needed.

You can also try the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animal’s for all types of resources. A website that is not particular to the New York area but has a large resource of animal welfare related links is AnimalConcerns.org.
