Why support Pups for Peace?
- It is emergency support for Israel in a time of crisis;
- It is a life-saving effort due to both the prospect of a deterrent effect from the increased likelihood of early detection of suicide bombers and from the actual early warning/detection that would be provided by the dogs;
- It engages dogs ("man's best friend") to help protect us and bring normalcy back to day-to-day life;
- Against the backdrop of the prevailing distaste for terrorism, Pups for Peace directly confronts and combats it, adding value and reason for people to do something, to contribute directly to anti-terrorist efforts and
- It is simple, practical, and can provide relatively immediate results.
The funding goal is to provide for all cost of Pups for Peace except for that of the required personnel in Israel. To fund the pilot program, $700,000 was required and raised. With the pilot funded and proceeding successfully, we are now working on the expansion of the program that will enable us to begin moving hundreds of trained dogs to Israel by Spring 2003. It is noteworthy that the overall cost of the Pups for Peace program simply is not that great, relatively speaking, in terms of the promise of lives that can be saved and enhanced peace-of-mind for the Israeli populace.
If you don't believe that terrorism against Israeli civilians will soon come to a stop, the money you give today could pay for the trained dogs that save the lives of innocent men, women and children in the near future. Please GIVE NOW!
