Nowzad was formed in 2007 by former Royal Marine Sergeant Pen Farthing, who served in the war-torn town of 'Now Zad', in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Their mission was to provide stability for the local people during a period of ever decreasing security.

It’s incredible to see how healthy they are both looking after lots of ongoing care by Halyna & the team, and last week we got to give them some long overdue horsey cuddles too! Here’s Pen, Nina and our Trustee Tony acquainting themselves with this very cheeky chappy, who has certainly found his feet at the ranch.

Now, we urgently need help for the animals still waiting for their chance to go home. Winter is closing in on Kabul, & these five need to get home to the safety & warmth of their families. Every kennel space they free up also means another vulnerable animal can come into our care, recover & heal.
