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.

Thank you, everybody, for all your comments on Nowzad’s facebook yesterday following our education day at the Kabul animal hospital.

That’s a huge barrier that highlights the broader challenges regarding education equality. However, we can still be proud that Nowzad is doing what it can within the existing restrictions. Sometimes, the most impor

What a truly fantastic day we had last week at our Nowzad Animal Hospital in Kabul! Our vet team organised an education day with the animals for around 45 very enthusiastic school students, all focused on teaching them how to be safe around animals and treat them with kindness. The session focused on two crucial topics: rabies prevention and general animal welfare. It was wonderful to see the students soak up all the information! This activity was all about encouraging learning in a friendly a

The first chilly days are arriving in Ukraine, and thanks to your incredible generosity, we are happy to confirm we’ve delivered enough warm, cosy, and yes, very cute clothes for our cats and dogs in the Zaporizhzhia region just in time! The Zaporizhzhia direction remains one of the most challenging areas in Ukraine. Due to constant drone attacks, our volunteers face significant risks and extra effort to deliver essential aid - food, medicines, toys, and, as you can see, vital warm clothing - t

When we first came up with the idea of creating a jigsaw puzzle, we didn’t even know how difficult it would be! We wanted to make a large 1,000-piece puzzle, of the highest possible quality, and with an unusual, unique design that would symbolise all the difficult work we do. Finally, we were able to turn our dream into a reality, and you can even see the manufacturing process of these puzzles! We searched for a long time for a manufacturer who could bring our dream to life. We travelled to the
