Happy Monday, wherever you are in the world today! Rany, Mollie & Ninja - some of our special needs pups in Kabul - are enjoying their fun in the snow this morning and wishing you all a pawsome week!

They were hollowed out by malnutrition and extreme labour, with broken spirits. We knew with absolute certainty that they wouldn’t have survived another day of work. Thanks to the incredible generosity of Ricky Gervais from his most recent comedy tour - Morta
