After landing at Heathrow Airport, the animals are said to be doing well.
Nowzad founder Paul “Pen” Farthing has returned to the UK from Afghanistan, after 'Operation Ark' partially succeeded, with Pen and the rescue animals flown back to the UK, whilst Nowzad's Afghan staff were turned away at Kabul airport.
As reported by BBC News, the animals flown in from Afghanistan as part of Operation Ark are 'in amazing condition', according to a person that processed them.
Lorraine Edwards, who transported the animals to quarantine kennels told BBC News that the animals are in “amazing condition.”
She commented on the rescue animals: "These animals were rescued from the street and offered the precious gift of companionship and comfort to our soldiers.
"Despite the long journey, they are in amazing condition and, after four months of quarantine, they will be given the wonderful new homes they deserve."
After the only partial success of Operation Ark, the Nowzad twitter account tweeted: “We are determined to support the Nowzad staff still in Afghanistan. We don't give up.”
