Nowzad hasn't added a story.
A couple of months ago, Dr Mujtaba was returning to the Nowzad
clinic after collecting medical supplies, when from the window of
the car he noticed a tiny little ball of fur by the side of the
road.
He immediately stopped the car and went to investigate.
He found a little puppy who on first sight looked like she was
dead.
Upon closer inspection Dr Mujtaba discovered that she
was infact alive, and not only had she been trying to survive on the
streets all on her own, she was also suffering from mange.
Of
course he picked her up and took her straight back to the Nowzad
clinic.
Once there, she had a hearty meal, she was
starving.
With a full belly she immediately perked up and her
sweet personality started coming out.
The day after, we
started treatment for her mange.
As usual, the amazing Nowzad Family all rallied to suggest
names for her and we decided that 'Gemma' suits her the most!
Now that Gemma has fully recovered, we have found the forever
home that this gorgeous girl deserves!
Here, her new family tell us why it is so important to them to
get Gemma home:
I first learned about Nowzad through the Animal Planet series Dodo Heroes and started to follow the charity on Facebook. It was inspiring to learn of all the work Pen is doing for the animals in Afghanistan and the people as well, employing them at the shelter and to create items for the shop. And of course, helping both US and UK soldiers reunite with the animals they became bonded with while serving overseas.
Gemma’s story caught my eye when it appeared in my news feed.
The fact that Dr Mujtaba found her in the street and thought she was
dead, and that after a meal and care she came alive and showed her
sweet personality made me fall in love with her instantly.
What a strong and resilient little girl!
I’m honored to
be able to offer her a home where she will be loved and spoiled. Her
dog and cat siblings eagerly await her arrival.
