Rescuers have been working tirelessly to help save countless animals that are trapped under rubble after a string of massive earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria. The powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake tore through southern Turkey and northwestern Syria and has already been one of the deadliest in decades.

A video of a dog in Turkey posted by @petworld_5 on TikTok shows a mother dog searching for her puppy under the rubble. The mother is desperate and is biting at the dirt quickly to try to rescue the puppy. A human is helping her and together they are breaking apart the rubble to reach the puppy. Finally, they were able to get deep enough to rescue the tiny puppy that was covered in dirt.

“The mother dog’s eyes are full of gratitude,” the text on the video says.

The puppy is so happy to be back with their mom, and the rescuers help set up a little bed for the two to finally rest and eat some food.

Even before the crisis, over 15 million people in Syria were in need of humanitarian assistance according to The International Rescue Committee (IRC). Funding is urgently needed to help people who have been affected by the earthquakes. The IRC is working to provide emergency services to families in Turkey and Syria and refugee families in countries around the world. For a limited time, monthly donations will be matched as the organization works to Support communities during this crisis. They currently have over 1,000 staff inside Syria working tirelessly to provide lifesaving Support and they will be scaling up their response in Turkey as well.

Your donation will go to providing cash and essential items, such as household kits, dignity kits for women and girls, and hygiene supplies including towels and blankets. Donations will also Support essential health services in affected areas and set up safe spaces for women and children affected by the crisis. Click here to learn more about donating.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is also collecting funds for its disaster response emergency fund. This will Support “immediate cash assistance” in affected areas.

Remember when donating that you should never provide personal details, bank account information, or other information without verifying the organization or individual collecting donations.
