With the troops now pulling out of Afghanistan we are seeing an increase in calls for our support to rescue a dog or cat from a US base deep in the provinces. Nipper cat is not exception!

The soldier concerned had this to say; 'Our Nipper was found in an old shipment container in fear for her life from rats and other cats. She is an in valuable family member and friend to who ever she meets. She enjoys long pets and games of fetch. Looking forward to bringing her home to our loving family'

Pen Farthing; Nowzad founder adds; ‘Saving a dog or cat, a defenceless creature caught in the crossfire of a war that has dragged on for far too long, is a piece of positivity in what is generally a long and at times dangerous tour of duty in Afghanistan for soldiers and contractors alike.
The dog or cat takes just as much comfort from the relationship as the soldier or contractor does.
Being there for these animals and not walking away as many do, changes the lives of these animals for the better. The least we can do is support them on their travels to their forever home. We are all part of this amazing rescue’.

If you are unable to donate online, then checks can be mailed via our office;

Nowzad Dogs NFP, 2770 Main Street #161
Frisco, Texas, 75033, USA

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, the funds collected via this Fundrazr page will be allocated to support the vital daily operational costs of the Nowzad 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 $5500 for a dog and $3500 for a cat (THESE are airline costs only! We as a 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.

To receive a tax-deductible receipt where applicable, or for any other queries, please contact:
pen@nowzad.com stating when and how you donated. He will be more than happy to support your request! J
