It looks like the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) will be working on the ground to help the animals in Haiti.
They have developed the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) to assist in the response efforts, and all animal welfare organizations are invited to join ARCH and direct their financial support to the coalition.
Their teams will be working out of a mobile clinic which has been donated to us by the Antigua and Barbuda Humane Society. WSPA and IFAW have pledged funds to fully outfit this mobile clinic, and it will be shipped from Antigua to their member society, Sociedad Dominicana Para la Protección de Animales (SODOPRECA) in the Dominican Republic for them to drive across the border into Haiti.
When people join together, amazing things can happen. Please join them now by donating whatever you can to help the animals of Haiti and the thousands of other animals that will be affected by disasters to come.

UPDATE: Just received an e-mail from ASPCA who has joined ARCH in helping Haiti's animals. You can donate at:

PS: I know there are a lot of organizations out there asking for donations and it is hard sometimes to determine who's legit or not, but my recommendation would be to just donate on good faith as long as an apparent affiliation with ARCH is recognized.
Thx Timothy, for posting this important information. You may also go to www.redcross.org to make a donation for human relief. Their website allows you to donation $10.00 just by texting them.
Thank you for posting this. I reposted it on my facebook page. Hopefully people will see it and donate.
UPDATE: Humane Society International (HSI) has joined the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti with a $10,000 donation towards relief and recovery efforts, and will be working with the World Society for the Protection of Animals, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and other partner groups on a coordinated response to this crisis.
Here is a compiled list of websites for donations to Haiti. It looks like groups like WSPA, IFAW, American Humane Association (AHA), and United Animal Nations (UAN) have all come together to form Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH), so any website address you click on below will go directly to the coalition's relief efforts:
