A few Nowzad 2020 rescues!

Time to forget about the woes of the world for five minutes and let’s celebrate a few of our successful rescues that did manage to travel to their forever homes during 2020 and the early part of this year.

With airlines suspending operations all over the world, just as they are doing again now, it seemed at times; as if we would never have the opportunity to fly them out.

It was epic.
It was beyond frustrating – just how many times can you drive a dog to the airport and go through Afghan customs before being told the flight was cancelled several hours ago……? (4 is the actual record J )

At times it was just hopeless.
But finally they were able to fly to their forever homes; so time to put a smile on your face!

Rolo, Dasher, Lily and Tulsi, Madhuri and Khushbaht cat were just a few of the lucky rescues to finally make it out of Kabul during 2020. we are truly grateful to all who made it possible with their super generous donations - thank you.

Some Friday frolics to make you smile 🐴…we had so many lovely comments following the photos shared earlier this week of our rescue foal Dash, who was born just after his mum was saved from slaughter. So here he is in all his glory 🤎, dashing around at the Ukrainian ‘Horse Paradise’ ranch. 🇺🇦 Thank you to all who have supported the rescue of many horses affected by the conflict so far!

Here’s a little update to give you a mid-week boost… the adorable chestnut foal named ‘Dash’, who was born last month at our partner shelter ‘Horse Paradise’, after his mum was saved from slaughter!

Here’s Pen, Nina & our Trustee Tony acquainting themselves with this very cheeky chappy, who has certainly found his feet at

🙏🐾✈️ Let’s Get Them Home 🏡 Last week, Ninja reached his target, & that’s thanks to your incredible support. 🫶🏻 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. These fundraisers are their only route home. Every £, $, € brings them one ste
