The Magic House - Lives of Others - a beautiful story about saving dogs
Let us know what you think of each episode when you have had a listen #dogood
Today we’re spotlighting Lives of Others, a remarkable dog rescue charity in Ramat Gan, Israel run by Tali Abadi and a dedicated team committed to transforming the lives of abandoned and mistreated dogs. This isn’t a typical shelter — it’s a network of home-style sanctuaries where dogs are rehabilitated with patience, love, and community support.
One of their main sanctuaries, known as The Magic House, shelters up to 60 dogs and serves as a community-center where local volunteers walk dogs, children learn about animal welfare, and trainers help prepare dogs for their forever homes. The charity intentionally avoids euthanasia and excessive confinement, focusing instead on dignity and care.
In usual years, Lives of Others finds loving families for around 250 dogs. But more recently, they’ve faced a drop in both adoptions and donations, even as abandonment rates climb. These challenges highlight how critical community support is right now.
The charity also has deep emotional ties to personal stories — like that of a young Israeli soldier whose love of dogs inspired the creation of The Magic House in his memory after he fell in battle on October 7.
Whether through adoption, fostering, walking dogs, or simply sharing their story, there are many ways we can help Lives of Others continue their life-saving mission.
Want to help? Walk a dog, foster, or consider adopting — and please spread the word! 💙
