ISRAEL DOG UNIT

SAVING LIVES IN ISRAEL

SAVING LIVES IN ISRAEL 
WITH SECURITY DOGS AND SEARCH AND RESCUE DOGS

 

 
The I.D.U. – Israel Dog Unit is the leading charity organization in Israel when it comes to life-saving work with canines, both in the area of security, as well as in the area of searching for and rescuing missing people – be they Alzheimer patients, children or hikers lost and injured in the wilderness, or victims trapped under collapsed buildings due to rocket attacks, gas explosions or natural disasters. 

 

FAMILY PROTECTION DOGS
 
 
ALSO PROVIDING UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT FOR –YOUTH AT RISK, 
OLIM AND LONE SOLDIERS 
 
It is not only about saving lives with Security dogs or with Search and Rescue dog.  The IDU – Israel Dog Unit also provides housing and support for our lone soldiers who combine their IDF service with service in the IDU as they volunteer in the unit during their breaks from the army to help us find and rescue missing people.
 

 

PATROL DOGS
 
 
NOBODY OUT THERE IS DOING WHAT WE DO
 
There is no other outfit in Israel that provides canine security, while also engaging in searches for missing people in Israel.  In many searches the IDU is alone with a handful of family members of the missing person.  And when it comes to security dogs, we are often the first and last line of defense in many vulnerable Jewish towns throughout Israel.
 
SUCCESSES 
 
The IDU has had many successes in aiding the army and police prevent terror attacks, as well as to find missing people with the help of our specially trained security, tracking, Search & Rescue and cadaver dogs.
 
ENDORSEMENTS 
(AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST)
 
Several police precincts around Israel who regularly call upon the IDU to aid and manage searches for missing people.
