OUR MISSION

The Israel Guide Dog Centre is the only accredited guide dog programme serving Israel’s 24,000 blind and visually impaired people.

Operations began in 1991, with a mission to improve the quality of life of Israelis who are blind by providing them with safe mobility, independence and self-confidence through the faithful assistance of guide dogs specially trained in Hebrew.

While we have expanded our programmes to meet the needs of people with other disabilities, including soldiers with PTSD and children with autism, our primary aim is still to provide trained guide dogs to people with blindness or vision loss.

HONOURS & ACHIEVEMENTS

In 2022 we provided a total of 73 trained dogs as either guide dogs, PTSD service dogs or emotional support dogs.

We succeeded in winning a contract with the Ministry of Defence to provide PTSD service dogs to IDF veterans, suffering from debilitating effects of posttraumatic stress disorder.

Continued high levels of support from two of our UK family trust funds allowed us to meet our targets to produce PTSD Service dogs for IDF veterans.

The training department raised its standards for guide dog qualifications, thus ensuring that the highest performing dogs are provided to our clients with sight loss.
