Fundraising
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!

Odie's Story
When we first arrived on our outpost Odiewas very shy and would not interact with anybody. After a few weeks he startedto warm up and began following me out on patrols. It didn’t take long for himto become a fully fledged member of the unit. He and the few other dogs thatwere allowed on the outpost kept the dozens of other strays off of the outposthelping to prevent the health issues that could arise from too many straysrunning around. With my schedule having me working many overnight shifts Odiebecame a welcome companion on long cold nights. I want to get him home so thatI can provide him with a better life than what he has experienced here inAfghanistan.Odie is now at the Nowzad Shelter with his friend Princess Too and we want to raise the funds to get him home, please spread the word and help us get Odie home.
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
