Albert dog is heading to his forever home in Europe!

Life for animals living on the streets of Afghanistan is extraordinarily challenging; each day presents a relentless struggle for food, a safe refuge, and protection from severe injury and disease. At the heart of this turmoil, Nowzad’s mission has consistently been to enhance the welfare of these voiceless creatures and to provide assistance where it is most urgently required.

Albert, one of these unfortunate souls, was brought to the Nowzad animal hospital by a compassionate local man who discovered three young puppies fighting for survival. Among them, Albert was in the gravest condition; his front paw was horrendously damaged—he was missing all his toes.

This horrific wound seemed to be the aftermath of contact with a corrosive substance. Through unwavering and intensive medical care, Albert has made a remarkable recovery; he has blossomed into the sweetest and most gentle of companions. Although he walks with a slight limp due to a deformed paw, he copes admirably and revels in interacting with others and taking short walks. Albert is exceptionally friendly with other dogs, always eager to engage in playful activities. He has a heart of gold, often sharing his food with his kennel mates and joyfully chewing on his beloved Kong toy.

Now, his dreams have finally come true—he is awaiting a forever home where he can enjoy a happy, carefree life with a loving family that will welcome him. Albert is a true survivor. Despite the traumatic beginnings of his life, he exhibits a remarkable kindness and warmth that endears him to everyone he meets. We recognise that these times are challenging for many, but we kindly ask you to consider lending just a little support to help Abi reach her funding goal. We would all be immensely grateful for your generosity. Together, let’s rally to support this deserving dog, giving him the opportunity to find his own family and experience a joyful life. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and generosity in making this dream a reality.

Pen did a live interview with Emma Bullimore on BBC this morning about the work Nowzad are currently doing in Ukraine. Enroute more supply-loading at the warehouse, Liuba took Peter Egan and team to pay respects to fallen Ukrainian soldiers. A very emotional morning and startling seeing the vast number of lives cut short by a senseless war. This isn't the end of it...there are many more graves for brave soldiers they've lost. #Ukraine #NoAnimalLeftBehind #CannonballRun #OperationKramatorsk

Another busy week ahead of vaccinating, neutering and spaying, as well as food and essential supply drops. As we race against time, we're joined by more members of the team as there's much work to be done. We think you may recognise one in particular! In the snapshot video, the team heckled their driver, as they experienced first hand, the pot-holed ride into Lviv, where our brilliant and beautiful Liuba got to meet someone very special to Nowzad. Over the next few days, we'll introduce our

Whilst Pen and Dan spent more hours on the road today, the rest of the Nowzad Ukraine team, David, Liuba, Dr Lachlan and Angela were hard at work organising and packing the van ready to head into Hostomel and Borodyanka Sunday morning. In addition to food supplies, there is also all the necessary equipment and supplies needed to set up a surgical clinic. The amount we need to take with us to set up a surgical clinic from nothing is massive! Everything from instruments to medications to means fo
