S.O.S. Pets Israel has a secure donation page. Choose project: Rescue dogs from Yeruham (Bat EL)

     Yeruham

Bat-EL has been rescuing and feeding stray dogs in the Yeruham region since 2012. Visit her Facebook page in Hebrew, for more information. Bat-EL speaks Hebrew, not English. When I talked to Bat-EL, she shared her frustration of doing this rescue work without any help. I will try to translate what she wrote in Hebrew.

 

“I feed dozens of stray dogs every day, I have been doing this for nine years. I rescue many puppies every month. I take them to foster homes and then to animal shelters who try to find them a permanent home. I am an activist, but I have no support. I pay the expenses from my own salary and from individual donations.”

Yeruham is a small, isolated city in the Negev desert. The climate is harsh and not suitable for stray dogs, puppies and cats. There is a war in Israel that effects the dogs in this region. And in addition there are many reported cases of dog abuse and neglect within the Bedouin settlements in the Negev.

Rescuers in this region need to pay veterinary bills for these injured dogs. They need to vaccinate the dogs and purchase food, with no budget other then the small donations they receive. During the war, people in Israel donate less, because of personal hardship.
