Bravo & Echo

Back in March 2011 Nowzad received a frantic message form a soldier serving in the US military in Afghanistan about Delta and her 6 pups.

Delta had given birth on base to 6 gorgeous pups but they were all in danger of being euthanized so after some frantic planning we had them all transported safely to the Nowzad shelter.

Delta and all of her puppies had homes to go to in the USA but we needed to raise $4000 per dog to send them all home so the fundraising began. Finally all the hard work paid of and in June 2011 Delta made the longtrip home to the USA followed by General in October and Liberty, Freedom and Charlie in November.

We still have Bravo and Echo with us at the Nowzad shelter and we really want to try and raise the remaining $5000 we need to send them home to their soldiers.

Please help us by telling all you know about Bravo and Echo and lets see if we can raise enough to send the last 2 pups from this lovely family home in time for Christmas.

Thank you.

Question: How is the money I donate spent? How do I know it is used to help an Afghan stray companion animal? Can my donation go towards a specific animal?

Answer from Nowzad: As a charity we are bound by the strict auditing regulations demanded by the UK charity commission. The board of trustees make sure the money is used to maximum effect in making a difference to the lives of animals in Afghanistan, which includes the daily running costs of the Nowzad Afghan shelter, rescue transport costs, animal food and medicines (including vaccines) and of course our Afghan staff wages. If, for whatever reason the companion animal rescue is not successful (disease or injury) then Nowzad will use the money collected on this ChipIn page to support the daily running of the Nowzad shelter – if you are not happy with our policy then please do not donate as we are unable to offer refunds. Donating via ChipIn is not tax deductible. Please visit the Soldiers’ Animals Companion fund www.sacfund.com if you wish to make a tax-deductible donation from the US. If you have any further questions about how to donate then please just ask at donations@nowzad.com

We would like to make everybody aware that this ChipIn page is not the only method that is being used to fund raise for the rescue costs associated with this companion animal from Afghanistan. The total required for a companion animal to travel to north America is on average $4000 (we make no profit and everything is subject to currency valuations and fuel prices on the day). To try and reflect the donations received from sources such as the Soldier’s Animals Companion Fund www.sacfund.com or via direct PayPal transfers, you may see the total amount required for this particular ChipIn less than the $4000 average. If you need further explanation then please just ask!
