PetSplash & Gad
The Story of how Gad Brought
PetSplash Natural Pet Care
To Israel
My story of making Aliyah is similar to some
and very different then others .
The Seeds of deciding to move my
life to Israel started after my 1st visit to
in March of 2005 . Possibly it was the combination of
“The Kotel”, Massada, Israeli Blue Skies &
Hatikva ringing in my ears.
Whatever it was, the seed was planted.
I returned back to Seattle and started investigating Aliyah.
Having been blessed for 4 years with a successful Pet Care Business,
I knew without question my New Life in Israel would involve Dogs!
I decided to name my new venture, “PetSplash”.
Working with my wonderful Attorney, Russell Mayer in
Jerusalem, Israel. I Trademarked PetSplash as
Israel’s First Ever American Style Dog Bath House.
Prior to making Aliyah and to this very day,
My friends at Nefesh B’Nefesh have been by my side.
Without NBN I never would have had the Courage to make such a
“Leap of Faith”.
So packing my bags along with my recipe for
Natural Pet Shampoo and other “Green” Products.
I boarded a Chartered NBN flight with 220 other
Olim Chadashim for the Journey Home !
It was Sept. 6th 2006 . Now Raanana Israel is my Home .
We opened PetSplash in Grand Fashion .
Our first day July 25th 2007 we held a fundraiser for
HaBayit Shel Benji in Honor of Capt. Benji Hillman who gave
His Life Defending Am Israel.
In His Honor, His Loving Family is raising funds to build a
Home for Lone Soldiers serving in the IDF.
1 ˝ Years later PetSplash is Thriving and I could not be Happier.
Its like “Dorothy” said in the Wizard of Oz .
“There is no place like Home”
I can never thank enough all of my new found friends for their Love, Kindness and of course Shabbat Meals,
Thank You

Lover of Am/Eretz Israel
