Nowzad Update - Operation Ark

Operation Ark was a partial success with the safe evacuation of the Nowzad animals and Pen from Kabul during the last few hours of Kabul airport being secured by British and American troops.

Sadly the Taliban were not willing to let our Afghan national staff leave Afghanistan even though they finally had the correct paperwork from the UK government.

The dogs and cats of Operation Ark are now safely in quarantine and holding kennels relevant to their vaccinations and DEFRA approved blood testing dates and will be available for adoption from the Nowzad website in due course. Please do not message the quarantine kennels directly. They do not have the capacity or authority to adopt out any Nowzad dogs or cats.

The list of available dogs and cats and the procedure for adopting them will be published during mid-September. Our only focus now as a charity is the safety of our staff who were forced to remain in Kabul.

Thank you for your amazing and super generous support and for understanding as we move forward into a new chapter of the Nowzad charity.

Thanks to a wonderful suggestion from Linda Brown, and chosen by Pen, her new name is TALLULAH! Tallulah is a beautiful Native American Indian name meaning «leaping water» or simply “spring” and it suits her perfectly. Her playful spirit and the joy she brings to everyone at the sanctuary truly embody this name. We’re so grateful to everyone wh

June 15th, and like every year on this day - we pause to honour the millions of donkeys, horses, mules, and other working animals around the globe who tirelessly support human livelihoods, often in the harshest conditions. From carrying heavy loads in remote villages to assisting in agriculture, their strength and dedication are invaluable. Here at Nowzad, we believe every working animal deserves a life free from pain and neglect. That’s why - this particular June 15th - we’re so proud to be l

AMAZING morning for Nowzad at St Paul’s Primary School today! The one and only Pen Farthing went to talk to the children about the charity’s vital work rescuing animals in Afghanistan and Ukraine. 🐾 Pen and Jen even brought along the lovely Dakota, one of Nowzad’s rescue dogs from Afghanistan! Dakota absolutely adored all the fuss and attention from the kids and teachers, proving what wonderful ambassadors these animals really are. Such an inspiring talk about compassion and courage! Thank
