Finn was rescued on an Indian Reservation in south central Montana, Finn was nine weeks old when he joined our family. The last of his litter to be adopted, Finn quickly attached to us, while also forever leaving a mark on our hearts.
Finn’s greatest adventure came when our family moved to Kabul, Afghanistan to work for a Non-Government organization in 2017. Initially, we didn’t think it would be possible for us to bring Finn overseas. Out of curiosity, we began researching and stumbled upon Nowzad and the work they do to rescue animals in Afghanistan. We reached out to see if they would be able to help us import Finn. Finn enjoyed the next 4 years with us in Kabul.

Because of the CDC’s travel ban on importing dogs into the United States, and with the current instability facing the country, we have made the decision to bring Finn back to the United States. Having lived in Afghanistan for four years, we have seen first-hand the fate of dogs left on the streets. It is devastating.

Would you consider helping get Finn to the US?

Pen Farthing; Nowzad founder adds; ‘Adopting a dog or cat, a defenceless creature caught in the crossfire of a war that has dragged on for far too long, changes the life of that animal for ever in ways you cannot even imagine.
Receiving emails from the new adopters of their dog or cat now curled up on their couching, snoozing away whilst the family watches TV or splashing around in puddles on the daily dog walk always brings a smile to our faces here at the Nowzad clinic. Opening your home to a Nowzad dog or cat takes commitment and the traits of some-one special.
But even more so, those who donate to a rescue they will probably never meet, is the supreme act of generosity and every day I am humbled by the kindness that complete strangers show.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are true friends of Nowzad’.

Please include the animal that you would like to donate to in your mailing.

If, for whatever reason, the companion animal rescue is not successful (such as disease or injury) then at the discretion of Nowzad Dogs, the funds collected via this Fundrazr page will be allocated to support the vital daily operational costs of the Nowzad Dogs small animal clinic and shelter in Kabul. We have over 140 dogs and 40 cats (which are mostly all adoptable) plus the first ever donkey sanctuary in Afghanistan. We continually need generous donations to be there for these animals.

The total required for a companion animal to travel to North America is on average $5000 for a dog and $3000 for a cat (THESE are airline costs only! We as an NFP make no profit and everything is subject to currency valuations and airline freight charges on the day of booking). We are sadly unable to offer refunds on donations. For the UK it can be as much as £5000 for a dog sadly.

To receive a tax-deductible receipt where applicable, or for any other queries, please contact:
