Legacy of LOVE and more!

Legacy of Love will be a luxury, coffee table book, filled with heartfelt words, stunning photos and beautiful art written by a variety of contributors. A Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign will be launched in June to raise the funds for this creative project. All profits from book sales will go to the Animal Charities featured in the book.
And guess what? Our very own founder Pen Farthing was asked to write a chapter to be included in Legacy of Love and so in our October newsletter we will feature details on how you can order your copy in time for Christmas!

Pen’s chapter will feature the story of ‘Gift’, a stray dog suffering terribly on the streets of Kabul but now safely at Nowzad!

You can read more on who has contributed at legacyoflovebook.org but we believe these two rather famous folk sell the book better than we can;

"The words and images in this fascinating book will transport us all into a world where kindness and beauty can embrace us all – if we open our eyes and our hearts." 

Virginia McKenna OBE,  Co-Founder, Born Free Foundation

My favourite animals to watch are sloths and sifakas. Who could fail to love a three toed sloth with its Lone Ranger mask, Harpo Marx grin and under active metabolism, and the sight of sifakas bounding and leaping sideways never ceases to make me slowly sink to the ground in silent merriment" 

Dame Maureen Lipman DBE, Actor

We are also super excited to announce that there is a tremendous collaboration coming between legendary animal welfare activist and top actor, Peter Egan and Nowzad; again more details in the next newsletter as it is top secret. Please don’t tell anyone…!
All we can say is we have been trying to make this happen for several years and finally it is!!

Whatever happens for the remainder of 2021 whether it be coronavirus or the Taliban; Nowzad is determined to be here for the animals of Afghanistan with no voice but yours.

Please donate and support us as you can – it will be the difference here at the Nowzad shelter.

Legacy of LOVE and more!

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! It’s incredible to see how healthy they are both looking after lots of ongoing care by Halyna & the team, & last week we got to give them some long overdue horsey cuddles too! 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
