In the midst of war, an uplifting update from Erez Barkai, Director of Community Relations at the Israel Guide Dog Center, and his guide dog Venus:

“In our building, every siren sends us to the shelter under the apartment. A family with five young children lives above me. The youngest is a year and a half old. In the previous war he was still a baby, and now he walks around the shelter with his sweet little duck steps.

At first he and his siblings were a bit afraid of Venus, but with every siren he took a small step closer. Two days ago he finally reached out and petted her, and then his older brothers and sisters also felt brave enough to approach.

Yesterday, when a siren sounded during his nap, instead of waking up in fear and tears, he woke up excited and called ‘hav hav’ (puppy).

Venus had changed his experience of the sirens, bringing him comfort and joy, showing how a dog’s presence can make a real difference to the people around them.”

In Israel, even dogs feel stressed and under pressure with many sirens. Sometimes a simple caress helps the heart to calm down 💙 If your dog is stressed – speak in a calm voice, breathe slowly, and place a steady hand on your dog’s body. Your dog is learning from you that the situation is under control.

If you've met a dog in the shelter, and you want to pet it, give him space, don't be surprised by the touch, and if you're not sure - just ask.

A gentle connection can help everyone get through this together 🦮

Help us wish Beto a happy retirement!

Beto was born at Guide Dogs of America - Tender Loving Canines and at 4 months old made Aliyah to Israel to become a breeder dog for the Israel Guide Dog Center. Beto is a gentle and calm dog, who enjoys long walks, sniffing plants, belly rubs, and playing with dogs and humans.

Beto has sired 30 wonderful puppies from four beloved mothers Laika, Bella, Laura, and Martha.

With his retirement, we wish Beto a new and quiet chapter, full of travel, treats, and great love. Thank you Beto for an important and significant contribution to the future generations of our center dogs!

Our professional trainers work with dogs at every stage of development, and they emphasize one guiding principle above all others: dogs learn best in an environment built on positivity, consistency, and respect.

The Israel Guide Dog Center was recently re-accredited with the Assistance Dogs International (ADI).

Did you know the ADI holds the highest global standards for assistance dogs? Highly skilled dogs meet internationally recognized standards to ensure they can work safely, reliably, and effectively—enhancing their handler’s independence, mobility, and overall quality of life.

Following rigorous training, our dogs are even better equipped to help their partners.
