A Message from the Nowzad Team

A little like last year, this Christmas is another strange one.  It ends a very difficult year for so many too, but one thing is for sure – the Nowzad staff, their families and the almost 200 animals that were on board ‘Operation Ark’ would not be here in the UK, about to experience their first Christmas, without all the incredible support we had from you all.

The Nowzad supporters are quite a force and your help, generosity and kindness kept us going through all the challenges of the summer evacuation from Kabul, and in recent months whilst we help all those from Afghanistan settle in this country.

Shammi Dog and Fanta Cat are just two of the lucky ones – here they are in their new homes tucked up by their Christmas Trees to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!   Thank you for sticking with us and here’s to a brighter, more peaceful 2022 for all!

From Pen, the staff and families, dogs, cats and all of us at Nowzad xxxx

Instead of our usual Fury post this week, and due to the whole, absolutely devastating situation in the region, we wanted to give an update from our team in Kabul. Thank you to every one of you who have asked us how they and all the animals are doing recently. We always pass your messages on. And it helps so much in times like these. ❤️ Your kindness and care keeps our teams going, until that day when peace finally replaces conflict and war. “In recent months, daily life in Afghanistan has b

PAWS ACROSS BORDERS | 10/03/26 Thank you so much for all your donations last week for our lovely trio Albert, Dee & Abi.

Every £$€ helps them a paw closer to that warm bed and a family to call their own. Just click on any of their links below to donate. Let’s make their tails wag a little more this week. The

What a busy and inspiring weekend for the whole Nowzad team! 🐾 While Pen was busy sharing our story with wonderful crowds in Totnes and the Royal British Legion Banstead, another part of the team was representing us in London. David, Ann, and Ewok made it to the Ealing Animal Charities Fair! It was a fantastic day spent manning the stand and connecting with so many passionate animal lovers. Highlights included catching up with our amazing patron, Peter Egan, who stopped by to show his suppor

Today marks a milestone that truly takes our breath away. For one entire decade, the incredible community at Raise 4 Nowzad has been a lifeline for the animals in our care. From the countless parcels packed with love to the relentless effort of organising monthly auctions, this group has been a force of nature. We are beyond thankful to the heart and soul of the group too, Ann. Because of her dedication and the R4N generosity, the total raised as of December 2025 is a staggering: £114,584.00 �

Our beautiful girl Pat spent the majority of her life as a working donkey in one of the harshest environments we could imagine – within the high-altitude villages surrounding Kabul, Afghanistan. Here, donkeys are the lifeblood of the community, often providing the only means of transporting water and goods. Pat was forced to perform this gruelling work while battling rickets - a condition caused by severe nutritional deficiencies. This led to a softening of her bones, causing her legs to bow un
