Update
On 02 October 2011 an Afghan man visited the Nowzad shelter looking for a dog for him and his family. After spending some time with various dogs 'Pudgy' formed an instant bond with the man and has now gone to live with him and his family.
We were originally going to send Pudgy to the USA with Buddy but when we saw how elated Pudgy was to be wanted by this Afghan family we knew he had found his forever family so now we will continue to raise funds for Buddy and will be looking to find him a home in the USA very soon!

 Buddy  Pudgy  Buddy & Pudgy's Story
These 2 puppies were abandoned by their mother and came across the Afghan National Army complex with embedded Coalition Forces less than 10 miles South of the capital Kabul. Lacking in life initially, the Coalition from many Nations commenced given them a life where they would be fed scraps of food and water and once the trust was there being able to play with them socially. This trust was lost when an Afghan Guard kicked Buddy in the head! This disturbing incident didn't go down well and it took time for the little 'fella' to gain any human trust again. Pudgy was also attacked, this was by an adult dog leaving him alone and scared with blood pouring from a nasty gash on the side of his face. Once again Coalition Forces brought him back to some sort of normality.
Nowzad have now come to the rescue to support their welfare and hopefully to give them a better life than they would have had on the edge of a city being abused from the way of life that is different to what we are used to. Nowzad hopes to place both puppies in loving homes in the West, they are 2 adorable puppies that deserve a break and will give so much back. Please donate for these puppies and spread the word far and wide. Thank you. A note from Nowzad
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! Nowzad Dogs is a registered charity (non-profit) 1119185 in England and Wales |
