Nowzad hasn't added a story.
Puppy Smoky came to us when a local Afghan lady found him in the
street, he was dirty and crying out.
She took him home and gave
him a bath and some food and then brought him to Nowzad.
Now, our
cute little Smoky has found himself a very special home to go
to!
Here, his new family tell us more:
My wife Cathy and I, Bill, from North Central Idaho in the
U.S.A. have the unique opportunity to adopt another NOWZAD four-legged
war refugee dog from Afghanistan to his Forever home here in the
States! We adopted our first dog Smoky Bear from NOWZAD 2 years ago.
Smoky Bear was an Anatolian/Collie mix male with a heart the
size of the Grand Canyon and a smile that would melt the coldest heart
when they met him. From the time he stepped out of his travel crate to
the day he passed he brought such joy and love to my wife and I lives.
After we lost him, we thought that was it we could never risk
adopting another dog and having are hearts break as they did but the
more, we resisted the more Nowzad came to mind.
We wanted to
feel that joy and love again from a special adoptee like Smoky Bear.
So, we contacted Pen & Hannah to see what kind dogs were
available and it so happens they have a 2-3-month-old pup looking for
a home and immediately asked for more details.
Pen sent us a
video holding the pup and that instant connection happened again as it
did when Smoky Bear was presented to us 2 years ago.
We know for
us you can never replace a dog like Smoky Bear because of the paw
print he left on our hearts but to find another war refugee dog from
Afghanistan to rescue and help heal that pain of losing Smoky Bear is
all reason we need!
But we are both retired and on a fixed
income, so we need the kind and generous hearts and same like
mentality of adopting refuge animals like us to help us get Smoky Jr.
to his forever home with us. Your donations towards our ability to
adopt Smoky Jr. will be great appreciated!
Sincerely, Bill &
Cathy, North Central Idaho USA
