Three years ago Vera Danker saw a documentary that would change her life and the life of three homeless Israeli dogs. Vera lives in a picturesque village in Southern Germany. She saw a documentary on the sad fate of many Cnaani dogs. They are a very intelligent and independent breed of dog native to Israel. Because of their nature and because they are very hardy there are thousands born homeless every year, most never find homes. Well Vera decided she would come to Israel and rescue some of these dogs. She ended up getting one from another shelter and two from our shelter. Getting them to Germany was no easy feat, It was months of paperwork and phone calls, not to mention money, before we finally had permission. Being the cynic I am I asked Vera what would happen if the adoption didn't work out, I didn't want the dogs left homeless and far away. Her answer was "I have adopted many dogs,I've never returned any"
