In Konya, Turkey, there is a shelter filled with many animals, including a puppy with a condition called swimming dog syndrome. Despite the high probability of catching illness in the shelter, volunteers like Yasemin are working tirelessly to provide care and support for these animals. The shelter is in need of more volunteers to monitor their diet, ensure they are fed enough, and to provide additional plates of food when needed. There are also many puppies in need of proper care and diet, and volunteers are doing their best to help them survive.

One of the most heart-wrenching cases is that of the puppy with swimming dog syndrome. Despite his condition and inability to walk on his hind legs, volunteers are working to give him the best possible care, even looking into the possibility of a prosthesis to accommodate his growing body.

In addition to the animals in the shelter, there are many other needy animals in the area, including those with hind legs not working and villages filled with weak puppies. Volunteers are doing everything they can to help these animals, even wrapping them in cotton to keep them warm.

While the shelter is in need of more volunteers and support, Yasemin and her fellow volunteers are making a difference and giving these animals a chance at a better life. Their hard work and dedication are truly inspiring.
