"Let the Animals Live-Israel" is a Non-profit organization which is set to provide help to animals in distress, rehabilitate them and find them homes. Over the years the organization has raised the awareness of the importance of animal welfare and the prevention of animal cruelty and abuse. The organization's work is divided into two main areas: 1. The field of strategic changes: The legal department – advocacy for strategic changes – promoting widespread systemic changes through bill propositions, petitions to the supreme court, legal and administrative suits, injunctions, freedom of information requests, monetary suits and providing services to the public. Animals in labs – raising public awareness to the atrocities of animal testing and promoting compassion for animals. Farmed animals – addressing the conditions in which animals are held in factory farms, promoting legislation to improve animal welfare, and filing suits and petitions to court. 2. The animal welfare section: Emergency helpline - Handles public inquiries regarding animals in distress and provides relevant telephone information to the inquirers. Three rescue vehicles – By which animals in distress are collected and transferred for medical treatment and rehabilitation in the clinics and shelters of the association. The vehicles are also used for capturing community cats for spaying/neutering. Animal shelter – more than 300 dogs and cats are regularly kept at the shelter, where they receive dedicated medical care and rehabilitation by a professional team of trainers until finding a warm home for them. The shelter is located in Kfar Ruth (in Modiin area). Veterinary clinics – the three clinics in Ramat Gan, Ashkelon and Kfar Ruth provide medical treatments for abandoned animals, including spaying and neutering in order to reduce the over population of dogs and cats. In addition, the clinics provide veterinary treatments to the general public at discounted prices. Mutual rehabilitation project at Hermon Prison – first project of its kind in Israel that connects abandoned dogs with prisoners in Hermon prison. The dogs undergo a full training process by the prisoners under professional trainer guidance to assist in their physical and emotional rehabilitation. The prisoners learn the training profession, acquire occupational habits, and gain an outlet to express their emotions and feelings. This is a significant experience for them, which greatly benefits the prisoner rehabilitation process. After their training process the dogs are offered for adoption and move on to their new family. "Mish'an for Cats" project – this unique enterprise consists of a foster home and adoption center for homeless cats and is located within "Mish'an" senior home in Giv'atayim. The cats, rescued from city streets and military bases, often injured and sick, received medical care, are spayed/neutered and vaccinated, and placed at "MIhs'an for cats" for rehabilitation, at the end of which they can find loving forever homes. The senior residents at "Mish'an" can play with the cats, feed and pet them, and enjoy their warm, calming and comforting companionship.
