Please help save the dogs of Taiwan.

We are in a race against time to save more than 1,000 dogs left homeless after animal shelters in Taiwan were heavily damaged by Typhoon Morakot.

Shelter dogs are now roaming or trapped by floods, some living on roofs or just barely surviving. In one kennel located beneath the Kaoping Bridge, dozens of dogs drowned in their cages, with hundreds more already reported dead around the island. Damaged shelters need medical supplies, drinking water, dog food, and assistance rebuilding the dogs' homes.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare's (IFAW) Rescue Team is helping local animal groups set up temporary shelters and resurrect what's left of their former homes, some which are under several feet of mud. Vet assistance will also be needed to help rescue dogs suffering from digestive issues after drinking contaminated water, as well as from distemper and to avoid a rabies outbreak.

Take heart. Incredible human and animal survival stories have also been reported. Local villager Huan Chin-bao witnessed a mountain crumbling in seconds, burying half of his neighborhood. Huang said he and another 40 people were guided by his two dogs to higher ground. "The dogs are our saviors," he said.

IFAW's animal relief efforts are funded by compassionate animal lovers like you, and we need your help right now. Every dollar you donate will help the animal victims of Typhoon Morakot.
