Atel was brought to Nowzad by a kindhearted Afghan, who found her on the street with a severely broken leg. 
The people in that neighbourhood had attempted to help Atel by tying a piece of wood with a rope to her broken leg in an attempt to make a splint to help her leg heal. 
However, when she was brought into our clinic, our vets confirmed that she did not have any feeling in her leg and were forced to amputate it.  
Atel has more energy and character than a four-legged counterparts and we are so thrilled that she has now found a loving home!

Atel's new owner says:

I saw Nowzad on a TV programme and decided I need to help. I knew I could make a change to a dog's life (I'd have them all if I could).

After a few days of looking at the dogs and reading their stories, Atel's story caught my heart.
She didn't have the best luck at the start of her life but I feel that I can give her the best in her adult life.

I can already relate to Atel in so many ways - when I was younger I had an injury to my knees that resulted in me not being able to walk for three years. I defied the odds and overcame the injury.

If she had four legs or two it wouldn't matter to me I would still love her as she is perfect.

The smile on her face will be something worth seeing everyday.
