Question: How is the money I donate spent? How do I know it is used to help an Afghan stray companion animal? Can my donation go towards a specific animals?
Answer from Nowzad: As a charity we are bound by the strict auditing regulations demanded by the UK charity commission. The board of trustees make sure the money is used to maximum effect in making a difference to the lives of animals in Afghanistan, which includes the daily running costs of the Nowzad Afghan shelter, rescue transport costs, animal food and medicines (including vaccines) and of course our Afghan staff wages. If, for whatever reason the companion animal rescue is not successful (disease or injury) then Nowzad will use the money collected on this Go Fund Me page to support the daily running of the Nowzad shelter – if you are not happy with our policy then please do not donate as we are unable to offer refunds. Donating via Go Fund Me is not tax deductible. Please visit the Soldiers’ Animals Companion fund www.sacfund.com if you wish to make a tax-deductible donation from the US. If you have any further questions about how to donate then please just ask at donations@nowzad.com

All the team at Nowzad Dogs would like to say a HUGE thank you to Wetnose Animal Aid for their fantastic donation of £3,500 to Nowzad Dogs!

A former royal marine is helping serving soldiers to bring their “adopted” canine companions home from the front line when they return from Afghanistan.
Pen Farthing was on patrol in the town of Nowzad in 2006 while serving with the Royal Marine Commandos in Afghanistan when his patrol found themselves breaking up a dog fight.
He said one of the animals attached itself to the soldiers and became their constant companion, providing distraction from the pressures of the front line and helping them to de-stress.
Welcome to our Nowzad Dogs summer 2013 newsletter! Currently we are facing a crisis to raise vital funds to move our clinic, cattery and secure staff accommodation as our lease has expired. You can read all about our clinic appeal inside our latest newsletter along with details on how you can help.
Peter Egan, actor and animal welfare campaigner, travelled out to Kabul with Wetnose Animal Aid to visit the Nowzad shelter and clinic and launched the ‘kick a ball not a puppy campaign’ to promote animal welfare and to raise awareness of the dangers of rabies amongst the Afghan children. Although too late to make it into the newsletter you can watch the videos of Peter’s trip on the Nowzad Dogs YouTube channel.
Please remember to visit our Facebook page where you can find full details on all our current rescues that need your support along with information on events taking place to raise funds and awareness for Nowzad Dogs.
And this winter we would like to get Pen on the road talking about Nowzad Dogs as much as possible so if you might like for us to come along and give a talk locally where you live please get in touch with us by emailing melissa@nowzad.com
