📣 TW: healing wounds
Our beautiful girl Ani is recovering from her emergency amputation, and the leishmaniasis lesions are healing.
The wounds are still hard to see, but she's not in any pain, and our vets are optimistic about her recovery.
Ani is a balm for the soul this winter.

🚨 We've got another pledged donation that will come to us when our animal food fund reaches $2500!
These pledges are wonderful motivators, and on a day like today, we really need the effort, help and encouragement.
It's been a really hard one.
A delightful bit of news from today is that Dr. Yasin and several of our vet techs traveled up to Parwan today.
Muffin, Cookie, and Biscuit have all had nice hoof trims and checkups, and though their coats may not be the most fashionable, they are full of warmth and love.
These boys have come so far, and we are doing our very best to make sure they have a healthy and peaceful retirement.
Help us keep these sweet bellies full, these and so many more.

The number of animals surrendered to us by former owners or reported to us as abandoned, injured, or ill on the street has been going up daily since the first of the year.
Some have a chance, many do not.
Murphy is one that might have a chance, but we still have not been able to touch him.
Emaciated and beaten, he's understandably untrusting, but we're hoping that reliable meals and patience will do the job.
We do what we can, and your support is always wanted, needed and appreciated. Please have conversations about us, share us, repost us. Please!

Meet Lou, a sweet short-legged boy who was surrendered to us in Apr25.
His former owners gave him up because they weren't able to care for him, we're grateful they came to us.
Lou is reminding everyone about our staff salaries fundraiser:

🏥 January Rent Fundraiser 🏠
Bringing us the rent fundraiser is Laila.
She came to us in October 2025, a little slip of a thing. She's grown here and found a home.
Please help us keep all of our animals warm and safe! 💞

Gigi got her first full gentle bath today, which will ease her skin. She’s in a warm room with a full belly and trained staff with her.
We're nearly halfway through the month and we have raised only a fraction of our operating costs.
We need your help.
We'll post our fundraisers shortly accompanied by our alphabet "meet and greets" to share who you're helping.
All your likes, shares and donations are appreciated!

This photo was taken at 4am Kabul time.
Our vets have been treating urgent intake and post-op animals all night, and there's not much respite yet.
One of the rewards we get from our work is this tiny bit of belly from Gigi - hard earned trust and love.

Next up for our alphabet "meet and greets" is Kenneth, and his mother, Karen.
Karen flew on our All Paws Airlift ✈️ finding a forever home in US; lovely Kenneth remains with us at #KSAR.
Kenneth has grown up into a beautiful dog with a sweet nature ❤️

Majestic Kyoto is one of our "teenage" pups who lives in 'Kitchen House', so named because we also cook all our animal food in the facility too!
In the second picture you can see how thrilled Kyoto was with new toys from our Amazon wishlist!

We couldn't start our "K"'s today with anyone but Kiwi! 🥝
She was just a kitten herself when she came to us in mid 2024, with 4 kittens of her own. She proved to be a wonderful mother.
Kiwi is always one of supporter favorites and lives happily with our other #KSAR cats.

Phoenix is looking quite pleased with herself on #Caturday-Saturday.
That purple stuffie has been well and truly captured!

He's enjoying his toys in the sunshine today! Lets hope your day is starting off just as wonderfully!

Beautiful Janan is one of our smallest tripods.
She came to us with a severely broken back leg, amputation was necessary.
The same night we also rescued Dougie (pictured together), they've been inseparable since.
They're not related but they are twinning!

🌻 June arrived at the beginning of December 2023, injured and emaciated.
It was touch and go at times, but here she is today, happy and healthy.
A huge thank you for all you do to keep us going, so that we can help those in need.

💕 Meet Jeremiah, a sweetheart who arrived with us in April '25.
He was quite badly infested with fleas and ticks, and was anemic.
Now he's super fluffy, loves his caretakers and has made firm friends with another #KSAR favorite, Lou.

Our alphabet continues today - today is "J".
Here's Josie - playful and loving!

We've got our first pledged match donation of the month, $800 for salaries and $400 for rent.
Funds like this help us take care of all the patients in our care, including our darling little Tinley, who spent today on soft blankets in the sunshine with our clinic staff.
Our pledged matches will come in when we hit $2600 on salaries and $2800 on rent, and every bit helps!

👨🏻🔧 👨🏻🍳 👨🏻⚕️ January Staff Salary Fundraiser 👨🏻⚕️ 👨🏻🍳 👨🏻🔧
Our 112 staff work long hours taking care of over 400 animal residents and running two 24/7 animal hospitals.
Our expansion working with wildlife and increases in local clients has necessitated more staff.

Mama Toffee and her babies, Nino and Nitro, arrived yesterday.
Toffee has partially healed wounds and the pups are a bit thin, they all slept well, are eating and playing, in a warm room.
Tinley is doing well, and Gigi is slowing gaining weight, we'll have more updates on them later today!

We have 850 Patreon members right now and it would be amazing if we could grow just one member a day.
We try to include lots of extra content of all our animals, toofs and floofs and everything in between.
It helps us become more financially stable, each month.

🏡 We have many new patients and residents right now and it's hard to make sure they all have sufficient space.
Rent in January is the highest we have of the year, and we need help getting it started.
Please help us with an early push! 🏡

It's a long Thursday night.
We have had 4 canine emergency cases, 1 critical feline patient, on top of the critical care and post-op patients already in our clinic.
One of the dogs is this little girl Tinley, found in Parwan province today by Ramin, mistreated, abused, with a rope around her neck.
Ramin drove her back down to the main clinic in Kabul. She's thin and scared, but has had her first checkup and hot meal, and will hopefully sleep soundly tonight.
Our vets and clinic staff will be attending to the other cases and patients til morning - from babies to elderly animals.
We'll be calling in off-duty clinic staff and putting all our shelter staff on call to assist with pickups through the night.
This might be a night when we end up ordering pizza at 1am, to quickly shove food in between caring for the little souls in our care.
Send these animals your love tonight.
Gigi came to us 48 hours ago, we are grateful to the people who report animals to us. Compassion spreads!
She's about 18 months old, her clipped ear shows us that she was spayed in the TNVR that operated until 2024.
Gigi has since developed mange, skin infections and arrived to us malnourished.
We have implemented a refeeding diet to safely get weight back on her without organ failure. She has wounds from abuse and hypothermia covering her body.
Despite this, she's still sweet and trusting, we tread carefully and slowly. Not all survivor dogs are as trusting, but we don't give up on them.
Right now our clinics are full and our veterinarians and clinic staff are working around the clock to care for the bodies and souls that keep pouring in. Please keep helping us.

Despite the bitter cold at night, we've had no snow this year, just a few drizzles, which means mud!
So for now, we've put down some hay in the messier dog play areas.
We might regret it when the first snow comes, for now we've got a lot of happy bouncy dogs.

❤️ Ivy is absolutely gorgeous, and always looks to have a smile on her face.
Nigel and Ivy are incredibly close, they spent most of the summer splashing in pools to keep cool from the Kabul heat! ☀️

Phoebe's puppies are recovering so beautifully.
They're putting on weight and joining in the time honored puppy tradition of rolling around and chewing on each other!

❤️ Thank you for helping to fund Bunny's 2025 medical care! ❤️
Bunny came to us, in Kabul, on 2021 with severe bone deformations and malnutrition.
After months of care, we flew him to Vancouver, and in 2022 he was placed in a home with a very experienced behaviorist who has helped him to flourish.
He lives a happy and comfortable life now, but his care includes routine pain management medications, vitamin supplements, and weekly hydrotherapy sessions.
#KSAR has committed to cover these, because the adopter would otherwise not be able to keep him.
#animalrescue #allpawsmatter #dogsofbluesky
Inky is up next in our "I"'s today!
He came to us as a kitten, during a busy kitten season, in August 2024.
He is absolutely irresistible! Now and then!
You'll often find him with bestie, Katniss these days, a little yin and yang ☯️
#KSAR #animalrescue #allpawsmatter #catsofbluesky
Loving Ivan is first up in the alphabet greetings today.
One of 3 little triplets - all featured in the last picture - Ivan has settled in well with the other cats in the house. His brothers also remain with him.
He's playful, loving and cuddly!
#KSAR #animalrescue ##catsofbluesky #allpawsmatter
Haku and Briney, 3 month old siblings, are thriving right now.
Puppyhood is dangerous here, but they're warm, safe and together.
Keeping their tummies full through winter starts now, and we have alot tummies!
Less than $20 feeds one of our animals for a month - less than a dollar a day.
Yesterday we brought in several older dogs in critical care and there's been an inundation of surrendered, abandoned, or injured street cats.
As a bright spot in the day, baby Sheringul has discovered she loves toasted chickpeas! 😋
She and Qandigul are moving to adjacent but separate rooms today to start the process of safely integrating.

🐾 TW: healing wounds 🐾
Ani has been with us now for 10 days, and she is visibly happier and more comfortable.
This is despite emergency surgeries to correct a partial gastric torsion, amputation of a leg eaten by bacterial infection and the lesions that have badly damaged her face, ears, and paws.
She has a long way to go, but she's got a great appetite, a beautiful smile, and sleeps like a baby.
#KSAR #animalrescue #allpawsmatter #dogsofbluesky
Heath, our lovely ginger boy, and Hope, our grey and white delight, are just two of our #KSAR cats who live and thrive with us.
They thrive because of the hardworking staff in our facilities, here, and because of you! We're always grateful! 💕

Herbie was rescued December 25th 2024, alongside his mama Cecilia.
Reported to us by someone who saw the awful conditions they were living in.
They were both initially fearful, but they have opened up wholeheartedly. Herbie has grown up here.
