In Southern Afghanistan, where desert meets mountains lies the small war torn town of Now Zad. Here during late 2006 a group of Royal Marines attempted to look after several stray dogs that had been abandoned by their owners. The choice of leaving them to fend for themselves was not an option, the dogs were scared, lonely and in a poor state of health. The dogs  became the Marines' companions for the 3 months they spent in the small town facing the daily threat of attack. The dogs became known as "Nowzad", "Jena", "RPG", "AK", "Tali", "Dushka" and "Patches" . An Afghan dog's life is not one of comfort at the best of times; most of the day is spent hunting for scraps of food or hiding from the hot desert sun during the summer and the freezing cold of an Afghan winter night. There is no pampered pet status in Afghanistan.

 

The Nowzad Puppies

Dushka - we remember you buddy!



When their tour of duty in Afghanistan was over, the Marines came home but the dogs didn't, so the Nowzad Dogs charity was formed (Registered Charity Number 1119185) which is dedicated to continuing the Nowzad Dogs story - it is sad and happy but always ongoing and always will be - please click here to read more.

So far and with a lot of help from our friends at the Mayhew Animal Home in London (please see the link below) and with fantastic support from fellow animal lovers the world over, we have managed to rescue "Jena", "Nowzad" and "Tali" to safety in the US and UK. The last surviving "Nowzad" puppy is safely in quarantine in the UK and our latest rescue mission to get "Blue" to the safety of the rescue is going well.

One of the many stray dogs of Afghanistan that have no home, surviving on the odd scraps of food where ever it can find them.

The Nowzad Dogs have a special meaning for all us - they represent the dogs and animals of the world that have no voice. We know that we can not bring all the stray dogs of Afghanistan back to the UK but we can help to fund the vital work of the Afghan rescue by helping them with their educational programme for children, free neutering programme for stray dogs and cats bought into the rescue and to help with the further welfare and local re-homing of rescued animals. We also support the Mayhew Animal Home's training programme for vets from developing countries who are working to help the animals in their local communities.

We have started small but with your help we can only get bigger! Nobody involved with "Nowzad Dogs" is paid for their time - all the money you donate goes directly towards helping the dogs (and cats) in need while raising awareness of the problems that homeless dogs, where ever they are in the world, can and do face. Please click here to see how you can donate and help us.

Every little we do helps, because we are not just walking away and we hope you won't too.
