In Moshav Megadim in northern Israel, a modest dog kennel houses one of the most inspiring animal welfare organizations in the country. Gilboa Loves Animals was founded in 2006 with the goal of rescuing abandoned and abused dogs in distress, rehabilitating them and finding them adoptive homes. Its founder and director, Anna Mostkov, set up the organization to service the area of Mount Gilboa where she lived at the time. Since then, she has expanded her work to other parts of the country.
