The Dogs of the Nowzad District

I stumbled across this great website this morning called dogster.com. It’s a community built for dog lovers, by dog lovers. I clicked the Video link to check out some of their videos. The first video I watched was The Nowzad Dogs.

While serving in Afghanistan, some Marines found 3 stray dogs. These dogs were frightened and in poor health. The Marines adopted them and let them live with them in the base in the remote village of Nowzad in southern Afghanistan. They formed “The Nowzad Dogs” - dedicated to rescuing these three dogs. Two of the dogs had puppies (11 total) while they were on the base. Then, there were 14 to rescue.

The Marines managed to get them to an Animal Rescue Center in Kabul. Now they are hoping to raise enough money to pay for the flights and quarantine costs to give these dogs a new life in the UK.

Please check out their video.
