nowzad dogs In Southern Afghanistan, where desert meets mountains, lies the small rural market town of Now Zad. Here during late 2006 a group of Royal Marines attempted to give shelter to several stray dogs. 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. 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 definitely no pampered pet status in Afghanistan. Nowzad Dogs was formed as a charity by supporters who believed in what the Marines had started back in that remote Afghan town and with the generous support of fellow dog owners the charity continues to help those dogs and other animals of Afghanistan that have no hope and nobody to care for them. Nowzad Dogs is run by volunteers. All money donated goes directly to helping the dogs (and cats and other animals) through direct action welfare, education and support. Every little we do helps and because we are not walking away - we hope you won't too! EMAIL NOWZAD DOGS here
