KSAR Summer Fun online auction: KSAR was founded by Charlotte Maxwell-Jones, a United States citizen from Tennessee, as a veterinary clinic and animal shelter in Afghanistan, to help animals in need. KSAR rescues abandoned, sick, and injured animals, and works to bring them back to health and find them permanent homes. It also serves as an emergency veterinary clinic in Kabul. In 2019, KSAR was registered as a veterinary clinic in Afghanistan. In 2020, KSAR, a United States domestic non-profit, was designated a 501(c)3 Charitable Organization. KSAR is an extraordinary charity operating under uniquely daunting geopolitical circumstances in Afghanistan. On January 30, 2022, and June 2, 2024, KSAR conducted two of the largest animal rescue airlifts in history, when it airlifted 286 and 296 animals respectively, to the safety of adopters and rescue organizations in North America. The 2023 airlift included the animals left behind in the dramatic fall of Afghanistan in August 2021. KSAR has continued to transport retired working dogs to a K9 rescue group in the United States. The costs of rescuing these animals and keeping them sheltered and fed and cared for is staggering. There are currently about 300 animals in residence in Kabul or at its nearby sanctuary farm, and many are permanent residents. KSAR’s need for funds for food, rent, utilities, medical supplies, and equipment, as well as veterinary and caretakers, is immense. KSAR is supported entirely by private donations and occasional grants, including a grant from Athletes for Animals. KSAR receives no funding from any government. KSAR has a worldwide audience on social media, with 90,000 subscribers on Facebook, 724 supporters on Patreon, and other supporters in the animal rescue community. KSAR’s prior auctions in June 2023 and May 2024 were successful, raising about $40,000 in funds for our animals. We hope to make this year’s auction even more successful. We are reaching out in the hope that you could be part of this event by donating an item or items to our auction. Our event, hosted by the platform Galabid, starts July 11, and runs until July 20, 2025. All proceeds raised will help pay for food, shelter, caretaking, and medical care for our animals in Kabul. Thank you!
