A very special with our newest breeding dog, Shirley!

Shirley has just arrived at the Israel Guide Dog Centre after making the journey all the way from Queensland, Australia.

See how happy Shirley is as she's welcomed by Center Co-Founder Noach Braun and Amber, who has recently retired from our breeding program.

We are so proud of all our breeding dogs and the future generations of life-changing Guide, PTSD service, and Emotional Support dogs they help make possible.

Five children, one service dog, and a lot of love that heals the heart.

For the Ouchion family from Sderot, coping with the challenges of war is part of their daily lives. But Susan, the family's emotional support dog, is their anchor - a source of joy, calm, and security for the children and parents alike.

Take a little peek into their touching and sweet moments together 👇

Our German Shepherd puppies went home with their puppy raisers! For the next year they will be cared for by foster families, providing love and basic training for their big mission.

We wish them much success, and lots of joy! Share your encouragement in the comments.
