Happy Passover

This Passover, as we gather around the table and tell the story of resilience and redemption, our hearts are with those in Israel navigating ongoing war and uncertainty.

May this holiday bring moments of peace, resilience, and brighter days ahead. For all of us.

What happens after the volunteer puppy raisers have to bring their puppy back for training and to be matched? Aren't they sad?" This is a question we get all the time at the Israel Guide Dog Center. And the answer is yes, of course, but the journey doesn't end there!

Recently when the attacks from Iran started, one of our clients was having a particularly tough time. As a blind individual who recently received a Guide Dog and JUST moved into a new apartment in Tel Aviv, he had not yet had the chance to become acquainted with the building or the surrounding area. Between the frequent sirens and lack of familiarity with the area, something as routine as taking the dog outside to relieve itself suddenly became almost impossible.

Fortunately, he had maintained a warm relationship with his Guide Dog's volunteer puppy raisers. That day, the puppy raisers called our client to check in, given the sirens. When he shared the situation he was facing, they decided to come to him. Although they do not live very close, they left their home and drove to him, stopping 5 times along the way because of missile alerts. When they arrived, they helped him take the dog outside, assisted with grocery shopping, helped organize the new apartment, and stayed with him until the evening.

The following day, the family decided to travel to Eilat and stay for several days in order to be farther away from the threat. They invited our client and his Guide Dog to join them, and they all traveled together. During their stay there, the family made sure that both the client and the dog had everything they needed.

So, while it may be hard for our volunteers to return their puppies to the Center after a year together, these relationships and connections - and seeing the impact the dog has on their partner - mean the love and the care gets to continue on throughout the dog's entire life and beyond. These are friendships and bonds that truly last.
