Hi, my name is Fandogh (Hazelnut in Farsi). I am from Tehran, Iran and have only been in US for a few weeks. A lovely family in Iran sponsored and paid for my trip to the US!
I’m trying hard to learn English and have already leaned “sit” and “down” (as in lay down) really well! They tell me I’m really smart because I learn very quickly and I’m not quite 5 months old yet!


Founded in 2004, the Vafa Animal Shelter is the first animal shelter in Iran, dedicated to providing help and shelter to injured and homeless animals in Iran. The Vafa shelter is a non-government charity organization relying solely on private donations and volunteers.
