KSAR: Bea

From the Kabul Small Animal Rescue’s Facebook:

“Bea is going home! We are delighted and beyond grateful to announce that we have been granted an export permit for a charter plane to fly our 165 dogs and 145 cats from Afghanistan. We are indebted to the IEA leadership at the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Ministry of Agriculture, and most especially the head of the airport, Director Abdul Hadi Hamdan, for their cooperation and coordination in this enormous and complex task. Ensuring that we have the proper registrations up to date in Afghanistan as well as obtaining an OFAC license from the United States so that we can legally continue to operate here has been a long process, but worth every bit of effort.

Our staff have worked around the clock to prepare the crates and the proper health certificates and customs paperwork for each animal to travel through transshipment zones and into Canada, all while keeping over 300 animals healthy and happy. This massive operation will start in early December, but we can't do it alone! We are grateful to be working with some well-established rescues in North America, and we are putting out a call for volunteers to help. Our plane will land in Vancouver, Canada, and we are looking for volunteers that can help with administrative tasks, ground transportation, animal care at the primary facility, and fosters and rescues to temporarily house dogs and cats. If you would like to help our amazing animals, please email KSAR.relocation@gmail.com and let us know what you're up for and we'll work on putting together a database for the rescues coordinating this awesome circus!”
