Ukrainian homes are being destroyed by the relentless Russian attacks, including ones that are still occupied by families and pets. 

Missiles are raining down day and night across Ukraine. A recent attack left a home in a pile of rubble. The humans evacuated but the dogs remained in the home. They were trapped under the rubble when rescuers from Ukraine War Animals Relief Fund (UWARF) arrived.

One of the rescuers named Krystina carefully moved the debris to rescue the dogs and get them to a safe location. Check out the video below. 

They will get the care they need before being put up for adoption. 

UWARF was called to another heartbreaking rescue mission involving children and eleven dogs in a destroyed home in Dobropíllí, Ukraine. 

Rescuers shared, "Inside were a mother, two children, 4 adult dogs and 7 puppies. Some of the dogs belonged to the family, the others they were taking care of for neighbors who evacuated the region.

"Everyone was home at the time of the attack, but survived. The children, a son and daughter had to be dug out of the rubble. Both are still in a hospital recovering from their injuries. The little girl lost a leg."

By some miracle, all eleven dogs survived the attack. They were rescued from the rubble and brought back to the shelter to be examined. 

UWARF said, "The dogs are being evaluated by vets, getting their vaccinations and the adults will be spayed and neutered. We hope to reunite these dogs with their families soon."
