🐾 OPERATION ARK: THEN & NOW! 🐾 Take a look at these beautiful faces! Five years ago this August, our lives changed forever during the evacuation of Kabul. Today, some of the incredible dogs rescued during Operation Ark are here to help us show off something also incredibly special — their very own copy of Pen’s book, Operation Ark, published 2 years ago this week! To every single person who supported the mission, adopted a rescue, or turned the pages of Pen and Nowzad’s journey — thank you

🌡️ Staying Cool in Kabul! As many of you have been celebrating the second anniversary of Operation Ark: The Book with us this month, we’ve been reminded once again of how that story continues to live on far beyond the pages.

And on days like this, that means making sure our donkeys stay cool, comfortable, and happy during the intense summer heat. ❤️ Just look at Ch

His ultimate destination is a specialist wildlife rehabilitation centre in Lviv where he can eventually spread his wings. But first... a li

It was complex, exhausting, and filled with hurdles, but together with an incredible team, we pulled off a miracle. For months, the search was on to find a safe haven for Ania, her family, and her 60+ rescued animals (including cows, chickens and goats!). Thanks to the unwavering support of the Nowzad family and Ania’s friends and family, a new home was finally found in the Kirovohrad region — far away from the frontlines of Kramatorsk. The clock was ticking. The whole evac team were waiting f
