Across Kabul & the local brick kilns, working horses pull heavy carts every day. But traditional harness contact points—especially across the chest & shoulders—are hard & unforgiving.

Look who—or rather what’s—ready to hit the road! The dream team is finally back together — with our fearless leader Pen of course, Dr. Lach Campbell from Australia, and Angela all the way from the Netherlands! They are heading out in the Nowzad Veterinary Response Vehicle to provide essential neutering, spaying, and vaccinations for shelter animals in the southeast of Ukraine, Dnipro and hopefully Zaphorhizia. A HUGE thank you to Almo Nature and everyone who voted for us in the Almo Nature 2025

As you may well have seen on social media last week, our brave friends at Druzi Space NGO in Kramatorsk — led by the fearless Ksenia — suffered a devastating loss when an FPV drone strike destroyed one of their main evacuation vehicles. These vehicles are absolute lifelines. Without them, rescue missions in vulnerable frontline areas simply cannot happen. Thanks to generous supporters across the animal rescue community, they can often be fixed or maintained — but this time, a full replacement
