Just wanted to tell everyone about Diana George Babish and her animal shelter just outside of Bethlehem in Beit Sahour.
I visited there this year as part of my side trip with Bike Palestine. She is having a large problem right now because the government officials are in the process of closing her shelter.
She has saved hundreds of dogs and cats from abuse and hunger and abandonment.
As you may know, there is a huge issue in the region with stray dogs. I noticed this on my first trip to Palestine and one of our guides said that the people there are struggling so hard with the activities of daily living there just is not a focus on animals.
The shelter is really doing God's work because not only are they isolated by land but they are also isolated by politics, as well.
Another problem is that there is not a government council such as a humane society or animal protection.
Many dogs are abandoned and end up forming packs that roam the city. The animals cannot survive in this way and sadly, once in a while they attack a child.
She has the only animal shelter in the West Bank and right now she needs all of the help she can get.

If anyone out there has any suggestions for helping or can adopt any dog or cat this would save the life of an animal.
She easily provides documents, crates and instructions--hundreds of her rescued dogs have been adopted all over the world.
