Pesach 2024 Appeal THIS PESACH YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED MORE THAN EVER…
Eye injuries account for 15% of all IDF casualties…
…and more Israelis than ever are suffering with PTSD.
Never have our superhero guide dogs and PTSD service dogs been needed more.
Never have we needed your support more to meet the growing demand.
Israel in trauma
Since 7th October the whole of Israel and, indeed, the whole of world Jewry has been traumatised by the events that took place on that day and the ferocious combat that has followed. Hundreds of young Israeli men and women have suffered injuries resulting in sight loss, and thousands of Israelis are suffering from the devastating effects of PTSD.
Transforming darkness to joy, one dog at a time
We know that our amazing dogs transform lives. Restoring the ability to live independently to those blinded or severely vision impaired and enabling those whose lives have been devastated by PTSD to cope with their symptoms and once again believe in a better future.
Only with your help can we change more lives.
It costs £45,000 to breed, train and support a guide dog from birth until retirement and the Centre needs to raise 90% of this cost from donations.
The cost for a PTSD support dog is £36,000, the Israeli government does cover half of this but the other 50% needs to be raised from donors.
So every donation really does make a difference to our ability to breed and train more dogs to meet the desperate need.
Please give as generously as you can and bring joy into someone’s darkest hour.
Cuddling Macey helps make the world feel alright.

The Israel Guide Dog Centre is the only accredited school in the Middle East training dogs to transform the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired. But not only this, we also train dogs to bring light into the lives of IDF veterans suffering from life impairing PTSD and children with autism who struggle to communicate in a world full of confusion. We can only do this with your support as there is no charge to those in desperate need of these life-changing partnerships.
