These four youngsters have only just made the Afghan rescue - more news on them soon!

Juno and Wylie Dec 2008 These two dogs were taken in by a British soldier as he couldn't bear to let the brother and sister puppies just starve in the bitter cold of the Afghan winter. Through a very complicated operation that only just worked both dogs were transported to the rescue. Sadly Juno wasn't strong enough and succumbed to the parvo virus. Wylie though is still going strong and we hope that he will be travelling to the UK very soon to start quarantine and then a new life with the soldier that befriended him. Without your support then we would not be able to help rescue dogs like these that otherwise would have no chance.

Arnhem was found on the 17th September 2008 (the 64th anniversary of the battle of Arnhem, hence the name) by the Pathfinder Platoon on Op Herrick 8. She was seen at the side of the road by a member of the passing patrol, looking very miserable and very poorly. The lads stopped, scooped her up and continued on their route back to Camp Bastion. As soon as they got back to Bastion the puppy was rushed over to the vet at the dog section who gave her an all-clear, but warned that she was very weak and vulnerable, having been separated from her mother at such a young age (approx. three and a half weeks old).
It was quickly decided by the blokes that she couldn't be returned to the wild as she wouldn't last five minutes without a parent to look after her and raise her, so she was smuggled into the accommodation pods and kept for one week in a cardboard box, regularly let out to sniff and wrestle with stray socks and wash bags.Also by this time the lads had been in touch with Nowzad Dogs, who had been lightning quick to offer their help in getting her home. Arnhem is a Labrador type dog (although you can never be sure with these Afghan cross-breeds), with blonde fur, who enjoys chewing socks, sandals, feet...etc. She is very sociable and enjoys lending a paw when everyone is cleaning their weapons at the bottom of the compound. ARNHEM is about to make the long journey to the UK and quarantine. More news as we get it.
