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.

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

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
