ROLDA is a non profit organization who tirelessly work to provide humane solutions to the huge homeless dog problem in Romania. We currently care for over 650 dogs in two shelters,located in the south east of the country. ROLDA also helps the poor communities who struggle to look after their pets responsibly.
From running dogs shelters to organizing sterilization and education programs, ROLDA provides humane alternatives in dealing with the dramatic animal overpopulation issues in Romania. We actively encourage everyone we assist and work with to find responsible, humane, and sustainable solutions when dealing with issues affecting our furry friends.
ROLDA, our dedicated staff and international supporters are taking action on many fronts, right now. Working tirelessly Today for a healthier and safer Tomorrow. We owe it to our voiceless animal friends, to ourselves and our children, and to the wonderful but environmentally threatened Planet we share.
ROLDA serves one of the poorest regions of Romania, where we help low income pet owners in their own communities. By providing essential food, sterilization, and free medical services, we are able to keep families with their companion animals. Without ROLDA's support, they often have their pets seized and destroyed by the authorities.
ROLDA works tirelessly to build a world free from homeless, unwanted animals that suffer terribly on the streets. A World where each dog and cat has the opportunity to form a strong, lifelong bond with their human companion. A World where wild animals are neither exploited, nor abused, and do not have their natural environments destroyed. ROLDA believes that our future planet must be a healthy planet, and a place where all people and all animals live together in harmony.
ROLDA works to assure that philanthropy gains the respect and trust of the general public when supporting a cause close to their heart. Donors and prospective donors must have full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations and initiatives that they are asked to support. We declare that all donors have these rights…
“Animal rescue is a heartbreaking work. We have come a long way, but there are still far too many homeless dogs and cats in our community. Since 2002, ROLDA has helped over 20,000 animals, some with human companions, and sadly, so many more who have no one. Our efforts have greatly helped unwanted and homeless animals, allowing us to rehome dogs from our shelters, and to assist people with low incomes in providing food and medical care for their pets, and farm animals.
Without ROLDA, our dedicated staff, volunteers, and international supporters, these animals would have suffered slow, agonizing deaths on the streets and in the fields of our community. ROLDA makes a daily commitment to several hundreds of animals. Could you make even a small commitment to one soul in need? Every one of us has the power to give hope, and to create a more compassionate world.”

TESTIMONIALS
Dana: I want to tell you such a big thank you for your kindness. You do such an inspiring job for all those dogs. I’m feeling so blessed to have experienced that in Galati Romania and I’m completely for your cause. Sending your best greetings and take care of you and all those sweet dogs.

"Difficult to express in only some words the emotion felt coming to visit ROLDA shelters. I was expecting to see dirty dogs lying in bad conditions …. this is what we, Swiss people, hear about Romanian “shelters”. But in fact, when I arrived I saw all these adorable dogs, healthy, clean, well fed, in large well-appointed cages or released. No chains around their necks. And all these cages have little importance. The only thing is the love that emanates from everywhere .. The love that dogs have spontaneously given me, the love that they were given to Dana and to the employees… which are not just “working” in the shelter, but they are these dogs’ only family they have. That’s what touched me, the love that emanates from this place. Even if it’s hard to see all these dogs that are waiting for a family, I know they are getting the best in this shelter. The dogs are there, full of affection, waiting a little attention from human side … And that’s why I need to continue to help them."

I enjoyed it very much, to see the dogs, cuddle most of them, it was a little hard to see the big shelter for me, but then I realised how lucky they were to have you and to be there with you! Being with you, means that they will find their forever home very soon, and in the meantime they are safe and taken care of! I’m amazed of all the things you’ve done for the dogs! They are all so happy, sweet and full of love, like they forgot all the pain they went through in the street! And I don’t have enough words to describe how it makes me feel. You give hope and love to these dogs, it’s just amazing…

"2013 November 21 is a date we will never forget : It’s the day where our little “Pantera” passed away; she reached almost 16 years and had suffered from Diabetes. But November 21 is also a positive date, where Greta and Panduta arrived in Switzerland, thanks to the efforts of Lolita Morena and her friends.You, the staff, the volunteer’s and supporters of ROLDA are doing a great job. Hopefully we can contribute a little bit by spreading the word."
