New videos about our work in Afghanistan and Ukraine
25 November 2025

Do you remember Beauty and Grace? Both rescued from the horrors of an Afghan brick kiln, these two arrived at Maverick’s Donkey Sanctuary in late summer 2025, very weak and wounded. Back then, they were so exhausted and quiet we couldn’t even imagine their true characters. But today it’s a completely different story! They are finally learning how to just be horses. ❤️🐴 The vet team have been paying a lot of attention to their nutrition, with their daily menu including hay and barley, fresh a

So many of you have told us: “I want my own Ewok!” Well… we heard you! ✨ That’s why we’ve created the “Your Own Little Ewok” toy, a completely unique plush made especially for Nowzad, and we’re so proud to share it with you. 📌Link in bio! #Nowzad #EwokThePom #RescueDog #SupportAnimalRescue #HopeForAnimals

You might already know this little boy… 💛 This is Ewok, our tiny Pomeranian with a big story. His journey began during the heartbreaking collapse of Kabul in 2021. In the chaos of those days, when his family was forced to flee Afghanistan to escape the Taliban, Ewok was sadly left behind. He was rescued by Pen Farthing and became part of Operation Ark: the extraordinary mission to evacuate the staff and animals of the Nowzad shelter to safety. Today, Ewok is living his very best life in Devon

💔 He was used for fighting. Now, he is safe. 💔 This is Panda. Once forced into the brutal world of dog fighting, he has found sanctuary with us in Kabul. 🏡 We are so proud of the progress he is making! 🌟 Outside of his kennel, Panda transforms into a calm and focused boy who absolutely thrives in the fresh air. He is energetic, full of life and ready to leave his past behind. Panda is safe now, but he needs a sponsor to help fund his daily care and medical treatment. For just a small mon
