The Nowzad adoption programme is restarting

We are reopening our adoptions programme (by Jen, adoptions manager)

It has been nearly three years since Nowzad adopted out a dog or cat but we are super excited to let you all know that is about to change!

We are re-opening our adoptions programme for a small number of dogs from Ukraine and a number of cats and dogs from Afghanistan. Our team in Kabul have been working hard with a constant stream of injured and abandoned animals. Sadly the length of time they are required to stay with us for treatment has either made them far too friendly with people for us to consider returning them to the street as part of our TNVR (humane trap, neuter, vaccinate and release programme) or their injuries require a loving home, ie our tripod dogs. And we only have limited space to give sanctuary at our Kabul clinic.

We truly believe in offering safe loving homes in the west where we can and of course it will free up a kennel for us to treat another injured animal.

A few have been rehomed locally but times are very difficult for the average Afghan family to look after themselves let alone a dog. 

We have some truly fabulous friendly animals waiting to find their forever homes. Please head over to our adoptions page (you can click here) to see if there is a special one that steals your heart. All our adoptions are managed on a personal basis and we aim to match the animal to the right home. There really is nothing quite like the love of an rescue and for starters we have 11 of the most adorable and super friendly dogs on offer. For the cat lovers out there  we will shortly be adding some gorgeous felines too. So please do check out our furry friends waiting for a home to call their own. 

All the dogs need funding for their transport to their forever homes and as we all know it is not cheap. You can read more about the dogs from Afghanistan here and if you wish to donate their funding page is here 

The Ukrainian dogs are featured here and their funding goals are somewhat smaller as we are driving them back to the UK and their forever homes - if you wish to donate please click here

Thank you for caring - you are the difference. And for that we are forever grateful!

Thank you, everybody, for all your comments on Nowzad’s facebook yesterday following our education day at the Kabul animal hospital. It’s undeniably sad and frustrating to know that the female students couldn’t attend because they are not currently allowed to attend secondary school. That’s a huge barrier that highlights the broader challenges regarding education equality. However, we can still be proud that Nowzad is doing what it can within the existing restrictions. Sometimes, the most impor

What a truly fantastic day we had last week at our Nowzad Animal Hospital in Kabul! Our vet team organised an education day with the animals for around 45 very enthusiastic school students, all focused on teaching them how to be safe around animals and treat them with kindness. The session focused on two crucial topics: rabies prevention and general animal welfare. It was wonderful to see the students soak up all the information! This activity was all about encouraging learning in a friendly a

The first chilly days are arriving in Ukraine, and thanks to your incredible generosity, we are happy to confirm we’ve delivered enough warm, cosy, and yes, very cute clothes for our cats and dogs in the Zaporizhzhia region just in time! The Zaporizhzhia direction remains one of the most challenging areas in Ukraine. Due to constant drone attacks, our volunteers face significant risks and extra effort to deliver essential aid - food, medicines, toys, and, as you can see, vital warm clothing - t

When we first came up with the idea of creating a jigsaw puzzle, we didn’t even know how difficult it would be! We wanted to make a large 1,000-piece puzzle, of the highest possible quality, and with an unusual, unique design that would symbolise all the difficult work we do. Finally, we were able to turn our dream into a reality, and you can even see the manufacturing process of these puzzles! We searched for a long time for a manufacturer who could bring our dream to life. We travelled to the
