From the Jurassic Coast to the Frontlines: Vijay’s 50-Mile Challenge for Nowzad

Breathtaking cliffs, fifty gruelling miles, and one incredible mission. We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our champion fundraiser, Vijay Kritzinger, is lacing up her hiking boots to support animals in need!

The Jurassic Coast is world-famous for its stunning white chalk cliffs and ancient history, but walking 50 miles across this rugged terrain is a massive test of endurance. It is certainly no walk in the park!

On 1–2 April 2026, Vijay will be tackling this physical challenge with one goal in mind: to provide a lifeline for animals in Afghanistan and Ukraine. While the views she will see are peaceful, her efforts are directly supporting our vital work in conflict zones where dogs, cats, and donkeys often have nowhere else to turn.

Every mile Vijay conquers translates into food, medical care, and safety for the animals we protect. We are so grateful for her determination and heart. Please join us in cheering her on!

It’s been another heavy week here in Kabul. Our team is currently celebrating the Islamic festival of Eid but, with more attacks on the city, the tension is palpable. Thank goodness though - Dr Reshad, his team and all our precious rescue animals are safe. Thank you so much to everyone for asking about the situation and how they all are. But... all are feeling the weight of the ongoing crisis and it’s hard for us here in the UK not to feel helpless sometimes :( Even in the toughest times th

Remember Blue? We first introduced you to this sweet boy back in December, and today, we are absolutely delighted to share an update on beautiful Blue! After his devastating accident, Blue’s road to recovery looked long and uncertain. The impact was severe, causing significant injuries to his internal organs — specifically his lungs — which required careful monitoring and X-rays to track the damage. He also struggled with a painful tear in her upper palate that made the simple act of eating a d

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.

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
