Nowzad hasn't added a story.
Kuchulu's Story:
Kuchulu came to Nowzad in 2016 at just 2 months old as she was found, abandoned at the US Embassy in Kabul.
She has been at the Nowzad Shelter ever since and we are so pleased to say that she has now found a loving home in the USA!
Here, her new family tell us why it is so important to them to get Kuchulu home:
Here is pic of myself and my bride of 33 years. In that time we have had 11 dogs from different rescue situations. Three of which are still in there forever home with us to this day. We believe in neutering/spaying our dogs. We hope and pray that it becomes the norm instead of the exception. We have had many of our children's friends and our Son who have spent plenty of time in both Iraq and Afganistan chewing the same sand as Pen Farthing and his comrades. This is our way of trying to make a difference.
If what I write is not enough Please let me know. Writing about yourself has always seemed foreign to me. So here goes:
My wife Cathy and I have a unique opportunity to adopt an four legged war refuge from Afghanistan. I bet you are wondering why Afganistan??? Why not adopt right here at home?? Well we were looking at the Animal Planet chanel to see what new and upcoming shows were available to record for
future viewing. Well they had a new series called DODO starting up in a few weeks. We thought that was an unusual name why not we'll give it a try.
Well the 3rd episode was about a Afganistan war dog refuge who befriended a British Royal marine named Pen Farthing. He and his comrades in arms from England doing there duty for God and Country. He ended up naming the dog NOWZAD! As he tells his story of his time serving in Afganistan NOWZAD became not just a dog looking for scrapes of food and a safe place to lay it's head down at night but Pen's comfort/therapy dog. He could turn to NOWZAD for unconditional love and support. Also during his tour of duty it become quite apparent to him and his fellow soldiers that the four legged war refuges had no where to turn too. Bearly surviving on what scrapes of food and water they can find. Pen figured a way to bring NOWZAD back to England when his tour was over. But his love and concern for those four legged war refuges he started the NOWZAD Rescue in Kabul, Afganistan. The Go-Fund-Me account is to help us get Kuchulo to her Forever home here in North Central Idaho. It's approximately $4200.00 dollars with an adoption fee and transportation costs. No matter what your politics or thoughts about the war in Afganistan but these animals have a voice and a rescue trying to save and find forever homes for them all. I invite you all to visit there website: nowzad.org or nowzad.com. There story is all there. We thank you for your time and hopefully your donation.
Sincerely,
Bill & Cathy Simmons
