Like Laxy a 3 month old yellow lab/golden cross, our friends in Israel have spent so much time in bomb shelters lately. Even in these trying times, our pups bring joy to those around them with their calming presence and happy tongues out.

Today is PTSD Awareness Day.

At the Israel Guide Dog Center, we are proud to offer PTSD service dogs to those living with the invisible wounds of trauma.

These dogs are not just companions — they are trained to recognize and respond to signs of distress, provide grounding during flashbacks or panic attacks, and offer a sense of safety and routine that can make the world feel manageable again.
In a year when so many in Israel are coping with trauma, this work feels more urgent than ever. We stand with every person living with PTSD — you are not alone, and there is hope.

Our hearts are big enough to hurt for our friends in Israel while also feeling joy—and today we share JOY. On Tuesday, as the threat of incoming missiles continued, the Center was able to celebrate the renewal of life--MAZAL TOV to Rixie on the birth of 8 happy, healthy puppies.
