This website provides information and links to rescue groups in the Negev and other regions in Israel.
I translate basic information to English. In case of emergency; contact rescue organizations in Israel.
Please Adopt, Foster or Donate directly to the rescue groups. They need help to feed dogs, cats and other animals and pay
veterinary bills. Rescuers often have to pay to house dogs, since there are not enough adoptions or temporary homes.
The costs are enormous with little to no support from the government.
The WAR creates extra challenges as can be seen on posts of different rescue groups. There are no volunteers, there are safety concerns & less donations during this difficult time. They need your help!

S.O.S. Pets Israel
S.O.S. writes on their website
The Operation to Rescue Dogs from Southern Shelters is Underway. During this period, S.O.S. Pets is operating in an emergency format and working vigorously to rescue dogs from combat zones and southern areas.
Dozens of volunteers from S.O.S. Pets went out into the field to help save dogs from shelters during harsh days of war for the southern settlements, who are under constant fire attack.
The organization's volunteers also help transport food for animals and for dog and cat feeders in the combat zones and the south.
In order to continue helping and saving the lives of the helpless, we require your help. Join us in the campaign to recruit people to save dogs in the south. S.O.S. has a secure donation page in English.
They also need foster families in Israel, fill the form below if you can help, its in Hebrew.

Starting Over wrote on their site: We are a nonprofit organization involved with rescuing animals. The organization takes care of and rehabilitates animals rescued from the streets and livestock industries. The sanctuary is home to animals rescued from all over the country that suffered horrible abuse and neglect or abandonment. At the sanctuary they receive a chance to live free, receive love and peace and in fact start over. Our sanctuary is a place of refuge for the animals that come here, but also for the people who visit.
The sanctuary works to promote education and advocates for the love of animals, seeing each other and raising public awareness for the protection of animals and their rights for the purpose of building a solidary, healthy and tolerant society.

We are sure you wish you could personally save a donkey or a horse and provide them with a better life, but most of us do not have the means to do that. Let us take care of them, rescue and nurture them for you. Let us give them a carrot in the morning in your name.
They need your help!
