From the Frontlines to Safety: Bluey’s Story
10 May 2026

On Friday night, the military arrived in darkness to hand over a dog to Dr Lach and Angela – a thin, exhausted, and absolutely frozen dog from the frontline. Our two didn't have much on hand, but he happily accepted some pasta, giving the bowl a very grateful lick! And, then after the last mouthfall, sauntered right over to Angela for some much-needed scratches!

Remember those tiny puppies our team rescued from that hole in the road a couple of weeks ago after some kind construction workers spotted them? Well...they are all thriving, growing stronger every day, and having a very good time tumbling around in our exercise area being built at the moment! But there’s one extra special story from this rescue family... When we were first alerted, one of the mum’s was desperately sick and suffering from severe mange. Tragically, before our team could reach

Meet our very special girl, Echo. Echo may not be able to see the world clearly, but she has found her own beautiful way of experiencing it. Rescued as a tiny baby from the illegal wildlife trade in Afghanistan, Echo arrived at Nowzad frightened and unsure of the people around her. We soon discovered that she was almost completely blind, meaning that unlike her eight companions, returning to the wild would simply not be safe for her. So, Echo stayed with us — and slowly, this nervous little m
