☀️ Summer is officially here in Kabul! And, as you can see, the local Nowzad «Gentleman’s Club» is making the most of it! Our roving ambassador, Fury, was out catching some rays today with Babri and Diesel. They might be thousands of miles away from the UK, but these 3 are definitely channelling those May Bank Holiday vibes today — just with a lot more guaranteed sunshine! That midday Kabul heat is no joke though, so we made sure they were properly kitted out.. We hope everyone back home ha

It’s National Rescue Dog Day today❤️ Today is National Rescue Dog Day in the UK — a day dedicated to raising awareness for the thousands of dogs still waiting in shelters, celebrating the joy of adopted pets, and encouraging future owners to consider rehoming rather than buying a puppy. Sparky - our most recent rehoming success - is now thriving in a loving home after leaving his Kabul shelter days behind him. Just look at him in his new home now - doing everything a dog should do. Sparky’s on

Late one night, two Ukrainian soldiers contacted Lachlan and Angela after finding a frightened young dog near the frontline in Kramatorsk. They wanted to get him somewhere safe🙏 What they expected was a puppy. Instead, they found a beautiful dog around one year old, absolutely petrified by whatever he had been through. He would simply freeze in fear. They fed him, sat with him, and reassured him overnight in their apartment. With his striking, different coloured eyes, including one crystal bl
