🙏🐾✈️ Let’s Get Them Home 🏡

Last week, Ninja reached his target, & that’s thanks to your incredible support. 🫶🏻

Now, we urgently need help for the animals still waiting for their chance to go home. Winter is closing in on Kabul ❄️, & these five need to get home to the safety & warmth of their families.

Every kennel space they free up also means another vulnerable animal can come into our care, recover & heal.

These fundraisers are their only route home. Every £, $, € brings them one step closer to the families waiting for them.

All have special needs & need homes in the West. We cannot get them there without your support, so can we all rally & please donate if you can, to help us get them home:

🩷 Please visit the website link in our BIO to send help 💙

Every donation, no matter the size, helps change a life & creates space for another animal desperately needing our help.

Please help us get them home. THANK YOU 🐾🖤

🐾 Happy Monday Adoptions Pupdate! 🐾 Karty & Kiki are home 💜

What better way to start the week than with with two new homecomings!

Handsome & gentle Karty Dog 🐶 has arrived home & is settling in brilliantly. He’s already enjoying his comfy new bed, his toys, & all the love & attention from his new family, who absolutely adore him.

Kiki Cat 🐱, our beautiful tripaw girl, has taken to home life like a natural. She loves watching TV, soaking up cuddles, & making herself right at home.

Having both suffered injuries as youngsters, Karty & Kiki needed special families willing to give them the chance they deserved. Thanks to their amazing adopters, they now have bright futures full of love, comfort, & happiness. 🖤

Thank you to everyone who donated towards their funding goals. You helped make these life-changing journeys possible.

Tomorrow we’ll be sharing our weekly appeal for more special needs animals waiting to reach their forever families.

Together, we’re turning hope into reality. 🙌🏻🐾

Happy new lives Karty & Kiki! It’s a total joy to see you safe & embracing life. We can’t wait to watch you blossom even more in your wonderful new homes.

4 Months, 1 van, & a whole lot of heart! 🖤🐾

If anyone ever tells you that multitasking isn’t an extreme sport, show them this video…Meet Pen: Driver, full-time lifeline, & official maestro of the steering-wheel air-drums. 🥁

Believe it or not, this year alone, Pen has spent a staggering collective total of 4 months behind the wheel, delivering vital aid to animals & their carers right across Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Between dodging grey zones with a chorus of cargo-bay cats & dogs 🐈🐕🎶 , & flooring his trusty truck under drone nets with the sounds of conflict echoing in the distance, it’s safe to say that even his GPS has seen things it will never forget. 💥

Sure, the hours are long, the driving is stressful, & the back-seat passengers aren’t always great conversationalists... but look at that smile! 🤩

From all of the @nowzadrescue staff & your supporters, THANK YOU Pen! 🤗
Thank you for every single mile, every saved paw, & every impossible dash. You’ve made an incredible difference!! 🙌🏻💙💛

...Now, get back home safely, & get some rest please, because we hear November’s trip is already on the cards! 🏃‍♂️🗺️

We are beyond happy that our Mobile Vet Unit has found its way to the amazing people at 12 Guards - for it to continue providing TNVR on wheels in remote villages around eastern Ukraine - where stray animal populations are absolutely out of control. Here are Pen and Nina handing over the keys to Ksenia in Dnipro this morning..

With a team of Ukrainian vets ready to jump onboard it will be their means of providing immediate roadside assistance to any injured or poorly abandoned or stray animals they come across.

Thank you to every single one of you who made this ambulance happen for Ukraine.

It isn’t goodbye though! We’ll meet up with this new ambulance team again early next year and will be sure to show you any photos and videos we get from the frontlines of work along the way!

Almo Nature by @nowzadrescue

No need to look at me all cranky my guy! That eye was doing nothing for you but causing you misery! (Kitty is actually just very sleepy from anesthesia)

When an eye is badly damaged for whatever reason (trauma, ongoing infection) sometimes it does nothing but cause the animal trouble. Its not functional but its infected or prone to recurring infections, there might be tissue degeneration of some sort going on. Its not good, its not gonna get any better and there's no need for this animal to have a non functional, bothersome and potentially health impacting blob stuck in there. So we take it out. And usually they deal with this very well!

So don't let mister cranky pants here fool you! He's much better of like this and I'm sure he'd agree ❤️

Let’s set the record straight & focus on what actually matters.
Message from Pen...
Myself & the team spent yesterday out on the road across Dnipro delivering aid, completely unaware of the even wider repercussions of the drone attack on my good friend Ksenia’s house & the ARK evac team.

The photos of the drone strike to her roof & what was happening to her house were sent directly to me by Ksenia, as we discussed what on earth she should do. As she told me yesterday – they are in a living hell there.

😞 Tragically, Jesse Adams — an absolute legend for animals here in Ukraine — was in the van outside Ksenia’s house at the time, & lost his life in the dreadful attack. We never crossed paths but I wished I could have had the chance to shake his hand. A true hero for the animals here, and our absolute & heartfelt condolences go to Jesse’s family,
Responding firefighters were targeted by a follow-up drone, whilst the terrified animals who were inside Ksenia’s house ready to be evacuated were released on to the street - for their own safety. They are now loose in the area.

All of this devastation was caused entirely by a Russian attack on innocent people like Jesse & Ksenia who were simply trying to help the animals & people of Kramatorsk.

As it often happens though – THAT back story has gotten lost in social media discussions when THAT is the only thing that really matters.

Please — if you can, help Nowzad raise £5,000 over the next few days so Ksenia at least has somewhere safe to rest her head between her increasingly desperate evacuation runs - getting families & animals away from the frontlines.

📲 The link to donate will be in our bio section.
Thank you so much, and please keep Ukraine in your prayers 🙏🏻 🇺🇦

«It is absolute hell, and we live in it every single day.» - Ksenia’s words, today.

Just a couple of hours ago, we shared the moment our Ukraine team met the one-and-only Ksenia to hand over the «Ambo» evacuation vehicle — replacing her previous one that was damaged in an FPV drone strike.

But yesterday, disaster struck again. We have just heard from Ksenia and she has told us that her home is gone - it was a Russian FPV drone strike.

A second strike hit the responding fire truck, wounding firefighters and leaving her home to burn to the ground.

Ksenia had spent yesterday morning evacuating rescued animals and bringing them there, but thankfully they were pulled from the burning building before any died.

Despite losing everything, this incredible woman absolutely refuses to give up, and just keeps on risking her life to rescue people and animals from the frontlines.

We urgently need to raise £5,000 to find Ksenia a safe place to live nearby so she has a roof over her head and can keep going.

🙏 Please, please help us support Ksenia by donating or sharing this post.

Thank you. What more can we say :( by @nowzadrescue

🐾 ✈️💜Let’s Get Them Home

It’s Tuesday again, and that means one thing — our weekly appeal to help more of our adoptions reach their waiting families. Every animal in this week’s list has special needs, which means their only chance of a safe, loving future is in the West. With winter closing in and the cold already biting, we urgently need to send them home.
Their fundraisers are the only way these adoptions fly home. Every donation, the cost of a coffee, a sandwich, or even your own pet’s favourite bag of treats genuinely moves them closer to their flights. We hate to keep asking, but without these fundraisers, they simply cannot travel.

So this Halloween, instead of tricks, let’s give them a treat:
the chance to go home.
A warm bed instead of a cold night. A family instead of a lonely kennel and hope instead of waiting.

Please click on their links to read their stories and help bring their dreams of home a little closer. Thank you Nowzad family for being part of their journeys.

‘Hay’ there! 👋🏻
We need to say a huge THANK YOU to our amazing supporters who have helped us to reach & surpass our fundraising goal for the Emergency Hay Appeal! 🙌🏻

We urgently needed £20,000 to feed the rescued horses through the forthcoming winter in Ukraine, and your incredible generosity has done it! 🇺🇦

This weekend, all the hay has been delivered to the Horse Paradise sanctuary, which Pen will show you here.

And whilst we are so grateful for your support in getting to our target, the work never stops of course, so any further donations will be used directly to help more animals…thank you again!

Look who—or rather what’s—ready to hit the road!
The dream team is finally back together — with our fearless leader Pen of course, Dr. Lach Campbell from Australia, and Angela all the way from the Netherlands! They are heading out in the Nowzad Veterinary Response Vehicle to provide essential neutering, spaying, and vaccinations for shelter animals in the southeast of Ukraine, Dnipro and hopefully Zaphorhizia.
A HUGE thank you to Almo Nature and everyone who voted for us in the Almo Nature 2025 Call for Projects! Thanks to your incredible votes and support, Almo Nature provided the majority of the funding needed to purchase and transform this decommissioned ambulance into a life-saving mobile clinic. We couldn’t have done it without this fabulous organisation and all you supporters!
When we evacuate dogs from the front lines, they need a safe shelter to go to — and this particular shelter where we are based this coming week came to the rescue, back in May. Now, we are supporting them to ensure the dogs stay healthy and no unwanted puppies arrive.
Lach and Angela, Pen, Nina, and Tony are setting off any minute now, on a couple of days’ journey across the country - alongside “Ambo”! The evac van we posted about on Wednesday.
Please keep the donations and support coming in! We will make sure every bit goes directly to where it is needed most to keep these animals safe and healthy:

Thank you all for your incredible support! And stay tuned for more updates and photos from the road next week!
