ברוכים הבאים לדף של בית המחסה שלנו!

בית המחסה ממוקם ברחובות. אנחנו מחזיקים כלבים וחתולים
חלקם חברותיים ביראים ומיועדים לאימוץ

אנחנו לא ממיתים בעלי חיים בריאים ולכן בית המחסה תמיד מלא
ואיננו קולטים בעלי חיים מהציבור בין אם נמצאו או היו בבית

בית המחסה פועל במסגרת עמותת ראשון אוהבת חיות
מתקיים מתרומות ומהשקעה אישית של מייסד בית המחסה

נכון

להיום בית המחסה נמצא בקשיים כלכליים ואנו זקוקים לתורמים ומתנדבים

Welcome to our page! For that reason the shelter is overcrowded and we do not accept animals from the public, whether they are found or come from a home. The shelter functions under the non-profit organization Rishon Loves Animals, and is funded through donations and personal income from it's founder. At the moment our shelter is undergoing a financial crisis. We are urgently looking for sponsors and volunteers.

Добро пожаловать на страничку нашего приюта.

Приют расположен в городе Реховот в Израиле. У нас содержатся собаки и кошки, часть из них дружелюбны, здоровы и готовы к усыновлению.

Мы не усыпляем здоровых животных, по этой причине приют переполнен и мы не принимаем животных, ни найденых ни тех у кого есть дом.

Приют действует в рамках некоммерческой организации Ришон Любит Животных, существует на пожертвования и личный вклад его организатора.

На данный момент приют переживает финансовый кризис, нам нужны спонсоры и волонтеры.

This morning, I was asked to take this wonderful rescued boy for a walk.

This gentle dog saw me for the first time, calmly walked with a leash, did his business, glanced warily at the street cats trying to approach him, ate canned food from my hand, and submissively returned to his cage. Then, he started to cry.
He didn’t understand why he had been locked up again and left alone.

This sweet young dog urgently needs a home. He is absolutely wonderful—please don’t pass him by.

Friends,

I have bad news. Yesterday, the court denied the owners of the territory a postponement of the demolition order. At the moment, we have no solution for most of the animals, and their lives are in danger!

• We are working on building a new place for the cats. However, it is much smaller than the current shelter area, and not all cats will fit. This work takes time and is unfortunately slowed down by weather conditions.

• We are actively searching for a new location for the dogs and rest of the cats.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated! From January 10 to February 4, you donated 66,481 shekels to the shelter. Part of the funds has already been spent:

21,991 shekels on building materials,
9,917 shekels on veterinary care,
3,300 shekels on dog boarding,
4,155 shekels on an architect and land measurement (expenses for legalizing shelter structures, though unfortunately, this does not grant us an extension).

How You Can Help Right Now:

The shelter has many affectionate cats in need of a home or temporary foster care for 1 to 3 months. Six dogs are also ready for adoption or foster care.

Help distribute flyers and posters. If you can put up a poster in a public place where you have permission (vet clinics, pet stores, workplaces), please contact WhatsApp: 054-6593643.

We urgently need:

* A welder to build enclosures.
* An electrician to install lighting, sockets for heaters, and issue a safety certificate.
* An plumber to set up the water supply and drainage system.
* A general worker to install dividing nets.

We need to purchase more building materials for the cat enclosures, specifically: shelves, sun protection nets, canvas fabric for wind and rain protection, electrical wiring, pipes, and faucets.

We will also have expenses at the new location for the dogs, which we still need to find.

You can greatly help the shelter by making a donation through one of the following methods:

Credit card or Bit: https://app.icount.co.il/m/0e915

Urgent!

Our shelter, run by the Rishon Loves Animals nonprofit organization, located in Rehovot, Israel for the last 20 years, received an immediate eviction and demolition order.

The organization has been caught in a legal dispute between the landowners and the local authority, that we were unable to resolve by our own means. We’ve been searching for an alternative location, but we have yet to find a solution for all the animals.

The shelter currently houses 12 dogs and approximately 140 cats. We have wonderful, very friendly, and healthy animals ready for adoption. Additionally, we care for animals suffering from blindness, deafness, chronic illnesses, or those needing lifelong supportive care.

We are asking for your help:

* Adopt an animal temporarily (for one to three months) or permanently.
* Visit our shelter and share your experience in your own words and pictures.
* Help with donations to fund temporary boarding and relocation expenses:

Meet this little guy — his name is Jerry.

Jerry is normally a cheerful and playful pup, but right now, he hasn’t yet forgiven the man who spent five hours winning his trust only to suddenly and treacherously sn**ch him from a gas station.

According to the café worker at the gas station, there were four puppies in total. Based on how Jerry would sometimes run after passing cars, then stop and watch them drive away, it seems someone abandoned them. The fate of Jerry’s siblings remains unknown.

Jerry was seeking human connection, following me like a shadow and lying down nearby, though he was cautious about getting too close. And it’s understandable—just two days earlier, three men with the best intentions had tried to catch him, but Jerry exhausted them all, and they left empty-handed.

Jerry is brave. Despite everything, he wasn’t afraid to return to the gas station and kept reaching out to people. While I was there, a café worker tried to shoo him away, waving a box to keep him from hanging around the tables. When I asked why, the worker explained that customers had complained about Jerry, and the café owner demanded the dog to be dealt with. Other passersby would feed Jerry and admire his cuteness.

Jerry is heading for a two-week quarantine at a shelter. After that, he could really use a foster home—or better yet, a loving forever home. Jerry will need to be taught how to live in the city, walk on a leash, go potty outside, and get along with other dogs and cats. He’ll need to stop being wary of people because now he’ll have someone to rely on.

Jerry will likely grow to be medium to large in size, around 20 kg (give or take). He’s about three months old now.

Please ask your friends and family—maybe someone lucky enough is ready to adopt this little miracle 🙂

Dear Charlie,

I remember how I found you. I was walking along the path from the Bar-Ilan bus stop in Ramat Gan many years ago. It was winter, and I think it was drizzling. You were sitting in the yard of a private house, meowing. I stopped. A woman, a Filipina, came out onto the porch. "Is this your kitten?" I asked. "No," she replied, "the owner of the house does not like cats, but I secretly feed him with cookies." I tucked the little white, fluffy bundle under my coat, and neither you nor she objected.

The tip of your tail was broken and had healed at almost a right angle. You always had an unclouded, soft, and kind temperament. In the last months, we made regular trips to the Beit Dagan vet hospital for check-ups. You didn’t like it when they took your blood, but you never bit anyone. You would rub against the hand that just a moment ago had caused you pain. You forgave us. You never held a grudge. It would soon have been a year since you were diagnosed with lymphoma.

As a kitten, you spent several months in temporary foster care, but as you grew older, you had to go back to the shelter, where you lived all these years. You brought us joy simply by being yourself.

Last week, your condition worsened, and we had to take our last drive to the hospital to free you from your suffering.

Rest in peace, Charlie. Forgive me.

Yesterday, we took a walk in Leumi Park in Ramat Gan with Yuno, Bona, Rizi, and Loki. The wide open spaces, fields, grass, scents, and… ducks. Bona tried her hardest to chase the ducks, getting frustrated whenever the leash held her back.

The dogs were curious, although occasionally a bit tense from the noise. There were a lot of people and dogs in certain spots, but they handled it wonderfully. Some passersby gave attention to the dogs and showered them with compliments.

Thanks to Zhenya for the initiative, and to Lev and Asaf for joining in, even with such a short notice.

If you also want to help us with walks or take photos with our animals to help them find homes, leave your details here:

For our overseas friends, we are considering adoptions outside Israel.
