Three women died while rescuing shelter dogs from the water. Now users on Facebook are calling for donations to support the animal shelter.

Fraudsters repeatedly try to claim donations for themselves via Facebook. It's no wonder that we constantly receive inquiries about various fundraising campaigns.

But in the case of the following query, the story actually happened:

I stumbled across this fundraising appeal.
Animal protection organization is a great thing but here it's kind of scary. 3 women who died during the rescue etc.
That could be true, but I can't find anything

The fact check

Yes. These three women drowned on November 13, 2019 while rescuing dogs from the nearby animal shelter in Revúca, Slovakia.

Due to heavy rain and flooding, the animal shelter on the nearby Muránky River was threatened. They volunteered to rescue the dogs from the water. The police and fire department found all three of the women's bodies.

The rescuers assume that the car was hit by the river and they drowned. According to Plus , one of the women made an emergency call shortly before her death.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, this tragedy really happened. Fundraising campaigns for the affected animal shelter are a good thing, as long as the funds ultimately reach those in need.

Users who want to help and be on the safe side can also donate directly to the animal shelter. You can find the animal shelter's bank details on the Facebook page or on the associated website .
