Dozens of Dogs and Cats Await Adoption Across Israel This Weekend
Several Israeli animal shelters and rescue groups are promoting adoption candidates this week, with many of the animals rescued from municipal pounds, abandonment, or neglect. The roundup highlights pets from S.O.S. Animals, New Life for Dogs, Rishon Loves Animals, the Ramat Gan SPCA, the Tel Aviv SPCA, Friends for Dogs, the Ashdod municipal kennel, and Animals and Us.
Among the featured animals are Arita, a 5.5-year-old female dog from a municipal shelter with three unadopted puppies about 3 months old, and Ron, a friendly 4-month-old puppy found abandoned in southern Israel. S.O.S. Animals says visitors can meet them at its adoption center in Herzliya on Friday and Saturday, with about 120 dogs and cats available, including dozens of puppies. The group also announced a special Friday adoption day every two weeks for municipal-pound dogs, with about 20 dogs each time, and the next one is set for Friday, June 12, 2026.
