IDU SAVES LIVES
Mikey and the Dogs – The dog unit in Israel, has set as its main goal saving lives. Every year, about 4,000 people disappear in Israel. Most of them are located after a relatively short time, but about 200 of them are considered missing at high risk, whose lives are in danger.
About a quarter of all those missing are never located, and every year about 50 people are added to the sad list of thousands of missing in Israel.
In 2006, we took on the difficult mission, but so important, of finding missing persons, and over the years we have been privileged to take part – along with other organizations and bodies – in locating dozens of missing persons.
The Numbers
Rescue and locating missing persons
The leading civilian unit in the country for locating missing persons, through volunteers, who operate special working dogs, skimmers, SUVs, divers, boats, and more
IDU participates in searches according to inquiries from the Israel Police, the Fire Brigade, and the IDF, as well as at the request of families, who apply directly to IDU.
Security and protection
Training protection dogs for patrol and security tasks, and transferring them at a subsidized price to security forces in localities, or to private individuals who need to strengthen their personal security. IDU also conducts courses, seminars, workshops, and training for dog operators, as a service to the general public.
Studying the profession of Rescue and Security
Unit members and people who have received dogs from the unit meet to learn how to properly control the dog, what proper maintenance is, and how to operate the dog optimally. The college flies international experts in the field of canine to Israel and invites its members and the general public to learn the canine professions from these experts.
In order to realize the association’s vision, IDU established the Magen Eretz Israel College to study dog training, rescue, and Security program.
