UPDATE: Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of animal-lovers like you, construction on the new Nowzad sanctuary and animal hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan, is well underway – and every single animal has been safely moved!
As demolition crews closed in to flatten the original sanctuary for new roads and office blocks, our partner raced to relocate more than 100 rescued dogs, cats, donkeys and horses across the city to the new unfinished site.
The animals made it out just in time, and they are safe – for now. But as they wait in makeshift temporary shelters, we must finish building proper stables, kennels and veterinary wards as soon as possible to give them the true haven they deserve.
Help us save Afghanistan’s oldest animal shelter and hospital – and the animals who desperately depend on it.

For 18 years, Nowzad has been a lifeline for animals in Afghanistan, providing safe shelter for hundreds and delivering critical care to thousands more through turbulent times of war and Taliban rule. Donkeys, horses, dogs and cats – all rescued from unimaginable abuse and neglect – have finally found hope and healing under Nowzad’s care.
Even when faced with the heartbreaking risk of seeing their only home reduced to rubble, our partner did not turn its back on the animals. The team got them out of danger and are determined to give the donkeys, horses, dogs and cats who rely on them the safe, permanent home they deserve.
But we can ONLY complete the new sanctuary with your support.
The animals can’t stay in temporary shelters forever. Help us build them a new, permanent home today!

Without this shelter, so many animals will have no-one to turn to – animals like Babri, an elderly dog once condemned to a brutal life of dog-fighting; Maqbola, a donkey whose leg was shattered after being hit by a car; Tallulah, a foal abandoned by her owner for being ‘too ugly’ after an attack tore off both her ears.
All of these animals are now healthy and safe in our partner’s care, and they desperately need our help today to give them the forever home they deserve. Friend, you have already helped us come so far. Please give as generously as you possibly can today to help us finish rebuilding the sanctuary and save the animals before it’s too late.
