Welcome to the Israel Guide Dog Family
We’re so happy you’re here.
Thank you for taking the first step to learning more about our exceptional mission—helping Israelis gain their independence and mobility through a partnership with a specially-trained dog.
Our Work
and Impact
Our Center in Israel breeds, raises, and trains dogs to become:
- Guide Dogs for the visually-impaired,
- PTSD Service Dogs for soldiers who’ve experienced service-related trauma, and
- Emotional Support Dogs for children on the Autism spectrum
Our dogs are so much more than four-legged cuties. They are superheroes that are changing the lives of Israelis. Check out the story of Barak and Amigo.
