A very special with our newest breeding dog, Shirley!

Shirley has just arrived at the Israel Guide Dog Centre after making the journey all the way from Queensland, Australia.

See how happy Shirley is as she's welcomed by Centre Co-Founder Noach Braun and Amber, who has recently retired from our breeding programme.

We are so proud of all our breeding dogs and the future generations of life-changing guide, PTSD service and emotional support dogs they help make possible.
