VAFA Hashtgerd! VAFA Ghazvin! VAFA!

Eleven years ago when we started the shelter in Hashtgerd, we would not imagine the good fortune of being able to start another branch of VAFA Animal Shelter almost a decade later.

It may be hard to believe, but we learned that putting together a competent team of professionals and recruiting committed volunteers is harder than building a facility. Therefore, the thought of establishing another shelter only took form when we saw a group of incredibly dedicated volunteers from Ghazvin come to VAFA in Hashtgerd every Friday to help. Their hard work and sense of accountability toward the shelter and the animals was noticed by all of us and we were so impressed with their devotion and enthusiasm.

Now, we are SO pleased to let you know that thanks to the generosity of a few supporters of VAFA and the leadership of our board, we have been able to purchase a one-acre property in Ghazvin to be the home for many animals in the years to come.

Although the land acquisition was made possible by the benevolence of a handful of individuals, building a facility and its operation will require the generosity of every single one of you. We were novices when we started the Hashtgerd facility, but we have learned a great deal and want to ensure the new VAFA is an ideal and optimal shelter that will be conducive to best practices that will also result in operational cost-savings that come from having the proper facilities.

What you are willing to put forth in terms of your financial investments and philanthropic support will determine whether we can indeed build a new shelter and the quality of its construction and level of service will also be based on what you – each and every one of you – is willing to do to help.

You have seen how astute and prudent we are with managing the shelter and caring for the animals at VAFA. You have been a part of this movement with your financial support and volunteerism. Now it’s time to be a part of something exciting and momentous once again.

Please send us an email ** info@cal.ir** and let us know where you reside, and we can send you information on how to send your “gifts” for building VAFA Ghazvin and we look forward to your support so that our beloved animals can soon have a safe home.
We appreciate all the help we can get, and you have our word that we will keep you informed of every step of the way ..

Vafa Team.
