The Negev Dogs website provides links to rescue groups in the Negev and other regions in Israel. They desperately need your help, especially now, during the war.

War effects animals as well.
Sanctuaries and rescuers all over Israel need your help!
Thousands of dogs, cats, donkeys and other animals need to be fed, and receive veterinary care. The animals are traumatized from the war, and also people stopped donating or adopting. (For example, one woman was about to foster from a dog from this site, but the next day she let me know that her partner was called to the reserves and she cannot foster a dog on her own.)
There are thousands of stray dogs, puppies & cats in the Negev, living in harsh conditions. This region desperately needs physical shelters and government support in order to sterilize the female dogs, feed the dogs and get them veterinary care.
Right now the government refuses to sterilize the dogs. There are very few foster homes or adoptions, so the cute puppies, dogs and cats end up living on the streets and in Landfills. You might assume that since Israel is a modern country, the government takes care of its animals and wildlife, but you are wrong. The neglect is similar to Lebanon or other countries in the region. The rescuers are amazing, they help in their free time with little or no support, but the number of stray animals is huge, so they can only help the most urgent cases.
This site provides information about rescue groups and sanctuaries that need your help. You can donate to them directly. If you live in Israel, please foster or adopt.

Israel has a huge stray dog and cat population. Thousands of dogs and puppies live in in the Negev region, in harsh conditions. They go to sleep in landfills and industrial zones. The government does nothing to help. The animal rescuers help as many as they can but there is no physical shelter in the Negev. The veterinary bills are expensive, feeding them is expensive. Your donation will help them save more lives. Negev towns that need help are Arad, Beersheva, Yeruham and Eilat.
Also in the Otef Aza region, they are creating a new sanctuary for animals and a healing place for people. They are fund raising and need your help. (This region is close to Gaza)
This puppy's name is Milky. He lived in harsh conditions in the desert near Yeruham. Bat EL rescued him and brought him to a Pension for dogs. It is expensive, but Bat EL has no choice, since there is no SPCA at this location. She also has to pay veterinary bills for Milky and other puppies. The goal is to find Milky a permanent home, but it takes time. Meanwhile Milky is playful and happy. Visit the Yeruham page to learn more and support Bat EL, so she can feed and rescue more dogs and puppies in the city of Yeruham.
Arad LeHai does incredible work rescuing and helping stray dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. They do not have a physical shelter. They depend on volunteers and your donations to continue saving lives. They also need large amounts of food, to feed the dogs in the Negev desert.
At the start of the war, Animals from the Ashkelon clinic were moved to a shelter in Kfar Ruth. The problem is that the shelter is overcrowded. There are already 200 dogs and cats staying in Kfar Ruth. Adoptions are needed and financial support to care for the dogs & cats.
"Let the Animals Live" helps the dogs, they also distribute food for cats in the war zone, in southern Israel. They need donations urgently to feed and sterilize the cats.
