AdoptMe IL x Hapoel Tel-Aviv: A sweet collab for International Dog Day 🐕❤️

As part of the campaign, the players took pictures with sweet dogs looking for a warm home, all with the aim of raising awareness of the importance of adopting dogs and cats from shelter associations and kennels across the country.

In the photo, the actors were seen petting, playing and hugging the dogs, while emphasizing the important message – adoption saves lives. “Every dog ​​and cat deserves a loving home,” said El Yam Kanzpolski, “and adoption is our way of showing love and supporting those who don’t have a voice.” The players call on everyone to join the initiative and adopt new friends, and to support not only the animals, but also the entire community. “We all want a better world,” they conclude, “and that starts with small but significant steps like adoption.”

The captain of the team, Robbie Levkovic: “Football is much more than a game – we have the opportunity to use our platform to do good and make an impact. Meeting these dogs and hearing their stories was especially moving. I hope this campaign will help them find loving homes and encourage people to consider adoption instead of buying”.

The campaign included several associations across the country – Herzliya and Netanya Love Animals, Lod-Ashdod Veterinary Service, Friends for Life, Douglas and For the Animals, from which you can find the sweet dogs that took pictures with the Hapoel players.

We can testify first hand that they are sweet one by one (the dogs of course). They know how to play nicely with a ball, behave like the good children they are and their look melted us all (the dogs, oh!)

Meet the champion dogs!

Johnny and Ashrat Eini

Dogless Association

About 7 and a half years old. He came to our nonprofit from the Gaza border area just moments before being euthanized in the pound. There was no longer space for him after he had been there for a very long time.

They said he was deaf and uncommunicative, and it didn’t seem like he had any chance for a good life. He came to us in a bad state, both physically and mentally. Johnny underwent rehabilitation and has become a loving and happy dog. He has been in foster care for two years with dogs and cats and gets along with everyone! And by the way, he hears perfectly well.
