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!

One year down, many more to go! Today marks one year since the opening of our first (and so far only!) Nowzad charity shop in Bideford. A year ago, this shop felt like a bold leap into the unknown. The space we found was huge, and we even wondered if we’d manage to fill it with anything meaningful or useful. Well… it turns out the experiment worked better than we ever hoped. 💛 This success belongs to our fantastic volunteers, who show up day after day with kindness, dedication and passion.

🐾 A HUGE “Happy Thanksgiving” from Bone & Rexy! 🇺🇸 Hi everyone! We’re Bone and Rexy, and we’re two of the many lucky pups from Nowzad Animal Hospital in Kabul who made the amazing journey to our forever home here in the USA. Right now, we’re probably sniffing around for some dropped turkey bits (we can dream!) and enjoying the warmth of our wonderful home. We just had to stop and send a huge, happy woof and a tail-wag across the miles to all of you! This Thanksgiving, we’re not just thankf
