Nowzad UK has a new home!
12 November 2022

When we asked for donations of food and medical supplies to support the animal shelters in Ukraine caught up in Putin’s horrific and illegal invasion we had no idea of the amazing response we would receive.

For a while we were, to put it mildly, overwhelmed.  

Within weeks of the appeal launching we had enough supplies for several large lorries to be loaded and sent on their way to Poland.

🐾 World Stray Day 2026: A Rescue Mission Amidst the Floods 🌊 Today is World Stray Day, and for the Nowzad team in Kabul, there was - yet again - no break for the weekend.

We are incredibly proud to share that today, we successfully rescued 9 dogs who were stranded, shivering, and mome

🐾 Rainy Days with Fury! 🐾 There’s no such thing as “bad weather” when you have a hospital compound to patrol and a garden to tend! 🌧️ Our wonderful Roving Ambassador, Fury, didn’t let today’s April showers dampen his spirits. He headed out for a stroll around the Nowzad compound with Dr. Salim to squeeze in a bit of spring maintenance. While Dr. Salim was busy with the pruning shears, Fury took his job very seriously—mostly by sniffing every wet leaf and making sure the flower pots were up

Yesterday morning, our incredible Vijay Kritzinger set off from Exmouth to begin her challenge for the animals of Nowzad. It was a truly special start! ❤️ To ensure she had the best possible send-off, Pen and the Nowzad team headed down to join her for those first few miles. Mind you, with a 7:00 am meeting time, Pen might still be wondering where those extra hours of sleep went! Pen Farthing and David Hill brought Ewok Nowzad to see Vijay off at Exmouth, where they picked up the supplies that

A little task for you all this bright and breezy Monday morning... 😊 This gentle donkey arrived at our hospital a couple of months ago, carrying with him so much pain. He was suffering from a dislocated shoulder in his right front leg — an injury typically resulting from extreme overwork or a sudden, violent trauma. For an animal whose life depends on mobility, every step he took before arriving at Nowzad was a struggle. After his rescue, he was immediately placed under full supervision. With
