Paws, Fun, and a Mission: Join Vijay at the North East Dog Festival!

19 January 2026

For all dog lovers in Newcastle! We are delighted to announce that our wonderful fundraiser, Vijay Kritzinger, will be flying the flag for Nowzad at this year's North East Dog Festival.

Mark your calendars for 22–23 August 2026! Kirkley Hall is set to become a canine paradise, and amongst the agility displays and muddy paws, you will find a very special stand.

Vijay will be there representing Nowzad, sharing the incredible stories of the animals we rescue in conflict zones like Afghanistan and Ukraine. She has dedicated her time to running this stand to raise vital awareness and funds, ensuring that while we celebrate our own pets here, we don't forget those who need our help overseas.

If you are in the North East, please grab a ticket and pop by to say a huge hello to her! She would love to chat with you about the charity's mission.

Pen did a live interview with Emma Bullimore on BBC this morning about the work Nowzad are currently doing in Ukraine. Enroute more supply-loading at the warehouse, Liuba took Peter Egan and team to pay respects to fallen Ukrainian soldiers. A very emotional morning and startling seeing the vast number of lives cut short by a senseless war. This isn't the end of it...there are many more graves for brave soldiers they've lost. #Ukraine #NoAnimalLeftBehind #CannonballRun #OperationKramatorsk

Another busy week ahead of vaccinating, neutering and spaying, as well as food and essential supply drops. As we race against time, we're joined by more members of the team as there's much work to be done. We think you may recognise one in particular! In the snapshot video, the team heckled their driver, as they experienced first hand, the pot-holed ride into Lviv, where our brilliant and beautiful Liuba got to meet someone very special to Nowzad. Over the next few days, we'll introduce our

Whilst Pen and Dan spent more hours on the road today, the rest of the Nowzad Ukraine team, David, Liuba, Dr Lachlan and Angela were hard at work organising and packing the van ready to head into Hostomel and Borodyanka Sunday morning. In addition to food supplies, there is also all the necessary equipment and supplies needed to set up a surgical clinic. The amount we need to take with us to set up a surgical clinic from nothing is massive! Everything from instruments to medications to means fo
