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!

Instead of our usual Fury post this week, and due to the whole, absolutely devastating situation in the region, we wanted to give an update from our team in Kabul. Thank you to every one of you who have asked us how they and all the animals are doing recently. We always pass your messages on. And it helps so much in times like these. ❤️ Your kindness and care keeps our teams going, until that day when peace finally replaces conflict and war. “In recent months, daily life in Afghanistan has b

What a busy and inspiring weekend for the whole Nowzad team! 🐾 While Pen was busy sharing our story with wonderful crowds in Totnes and the Royal British Legion Banstead, another part of the team was representing us in London. David, Ann, and Ewok made it to the Ealing Animal Charities Fair! It was a fantastic day spent manning the stand and connecting with so many passionate animal lovers. Highlights included catching up with our amazing patron, Peter Egan, who stopped by to show his suppor

Today marks a milestone that truly takes our breath away. For one entire decade, the incredible community at Raise 4 Nowzad has been a lifeline for the animals in our care. From the countless parcels packed with love to the relentless effort of organising monthly auctions, this group has been a force of nature. We are beyond thankful to the heart and soul of the group too, Ann. Because of her dedication and the R4N generosity, the total raised as of December 2025 is a staggering: £114,584.00 �

Our beautiful girl Pat spent the majority of her life as a working donkey in one of the harshest environments we could imagine – within the high-altitude villages surrounding Kabul, Afghanistan. Here, donkeys are the lifeblood of the community, often providing the only means of transporting water and goods. Pat was forced to perform this gruelling work while battling rickets - a condition caused by severe nutritional deficiencies. This led to a softening of her bones, causing her legs to bow un
