To relieve the suffering of animals; including companion animals, working equines, stray and abandoned dogs and cats and all other animals in need of care and attention, and to provide and maintain where possible; rescue, rehabilitation and education facilities for the care and treatment of such animals with no voice but ours.
We’re delighted to share an update from our wonderful supporter Kathy Owen, who recently took on her own special challenge for Nowzad by climbing Moel Famau. As the fundraising is going so well, Kathy has decided to raise her target from £600 to an amazing £1,000!
Our team recently helped a beautiful Great White Pelican get back to the wild after it was rescued by our partners at NEPA, from a local hunter in Takhar. In Afghanistan, bird hunting is an ancient and deeply rooted tradition that has persisted for centuries, even through decades of conflict and instability.
Once the eagle had arrived at our Emergency Animal Hospital, our vet team got right to work on its treatment and rehab. Recovery takes time, but with plenty of careful nursing, the bird gradually built back the strength it needed to fly again.
