"In a village on the outskirts of Galati, beyond the steel mill, beyond the end of the paved roads, Dana Costin had constructed the first Romanian League in Defense of Animals dog shelter as a monument to optimism. At a time when almost every other “animal shelter” in Romania was a grim canine concentration camp, where depressed dogs deprived of the opportunity to live by their wits starved, fought, and sometimes even lost hope, the ROLDA shelter was a safe, happy place."

My name is Anja, I live close to Hamburg. How did I come to join this project? First of all I met Sabine last year via Twitter. We got along great from minute 1…when I met Tofu (the sweetest rascal I’ve ever seen) I fell in love the second I saw him. Sabine and I talked a lot about Romanian stray dogs and I got to know a lot about how terrible the situation in Romania is for these animals. When Sabine told me she is going to be the head of the German operation I warmed up to the idea to help too. Muffin (Sabine’s second adopted dog) helped in making the decision to join this awesome project, because you have to know Muffin is just as cute and lovable as Tofu is. You can say I found one of my life tasks in the ROLDA organization.

Åse bor i Bergen, Norge. Hun har adoptert hunder og katter fra Norge og Spania, og nå også en hund, Maja, fra Romania. Det bor rundt 600 andre hunder på våre hjelpesentre som venter på noen som Åse. Om ikke fra Norge, så kanskje fra Nederland, Storbritannia eller andre steder. De fleste Rumenere er skamfulle eller irriterte over gatehundenes tilstedeværelse, men behandler ikke hundene humant. Mennesker som Åse gjør at vi fremdeles beholder håpet på at noen forstår viktigheten av arbeidet vårt, respekterer hva vi gjør og oppmuntrer og promoterer vår virksomhet. I tillegg til å støtte oss økonomisk, kan du komme og jobbe som frivillig hos oss eller du kan dele våre aktiviteter og nyhetsbrev på nettet. Om du ser etter et loddent familiemedlem, ber vi deg huske på oss. Vi har mange vakre, smarte, friske og sunne hunder i alle størrelser, farger og fasonger som venter på deg.

"Wow I just looked on your page it brought tears to my eyes with happiness , your work, mission and most of all those children being involved is a crucial part of changing animals lives .Those children will be the building block and hopefully they can change the way people treat animals so important that they are involved. I also love all your ideas for the shelter, and how large so lots of doggies can be helped. Just great stuff to see. Good luck with your amazing work."

Die Hunde mit den traurigen Augen Man sieht sie immer wieder vorbei kommen auf dem Internet. Traurige Hunde, dreckig in verkommenen, zugigen, feuchten Verschlägen. Auch sie werden zur Adoption angeboten und auch ich möchte sie am liebsten alle retten, denn sie schauen mit ihren traurigen Augen direkt in mein Herz. Es wäre fantastisch so einen Hund zu retten! Für diesen Hund würde das alles bedeuten aber es wäre ein Tropfen auf den heißen Stein. Nichts wird sich ändern. Ich habe mich dazu entschlossen mich für ROLDA einzusetzen. Einer Organisation die in mehreren Ländern tätig ist und der es auf den ersten Blick richtig gut zu gehen scheint. Warum? Weil Dana eine Vision hat, weil Dana weiter schaut, sich unermüdlich für das große Ganze einsetzt. Vor mehr als einem Jahrzehnt begann sie mit einem Traum, dem Traum davon um den Straßenhunden in ihrer Region einen sicheren Zufluchtsort bieten zu können. Inzwischen ist ein, für rumänische Verhältnisse, solides Tierheim entstanden. Medische Versorgung wird gewährleistet, alle Hunde können regelmäßig geimpft werden, erhalten täglich Futter und frisches Wasser. Keine Selbstverständlichkeit in rumänischen Zwingern. Dana ist bemüht das Tierheim stetig auszubreiten, anzupassen und zu verbessern. Aber nicht nur das, sie hilft auch den vielen Hunden in und um Galati. Sie hilft auch den Leuten. Sie können ihre Tiere in regelmäßigen Abständen kostenlos kastrieren lassen. Sie betreibt Aufklärungsarbeit. Sie hat vor über zehn Jahren einen kleinen Samen Hoffnung gesät und nun müssen wir dieses zarte Pflänzchen hegen und pflegen, damit es groß und stark werden kann. Adoptiert man einen Hund von ROLDA, hilft man mindestens zweien. Ein Hund bekommt ein Zuhause, ein weiterer kann von der Straße ins sichere Tierheim kommen. Es kommt Geld frei für medizinische Hilfe. Ich glaube Dana hat mittlerweile ganz aufgehört zu schlafen. Denn es ist immer wieder ein harter Kampf. Das Tierheim verschlingt viel Geld und Kraft. Guter, sinnvoller Tierschutz kostet nun einmal Geld. Ich weiß, das nicht jeder einen Hund adoptieren kann und nicht jeder hat das Geld für einen Sponsorhund aber ohne eure Spenden kann auch Dana ihre Arbeit nicht fortsetzen und alles was in den letzten zehn Jahren aufgebaut worden ist wäre verloren. Wirklich jede noch so kleine Spende hilft, denn zusammen sind wir viele und können viel erreichen. Und ja, Australien brennt und vielleicht steht bald die ganze Welt in Brand und wir fragen ständig Geld für rumänische Straßenhunde. Aber ich hoffe doch das viele von euch, die unsere Seite abonniert haben, das getan haben weil sie sich für das Leid der rumänischen Hunde interessieren. Und egal wofür ihr euch entscheidet, wen ihr unterstützen wollt, es ist in erster Linie wichtig, das man etwas macht. Damit diese Welt jeden Tag ein kleines bisschen besser wird.

Sylvia

We are impressed with what ROLDA has accomplished with a small amount of support. There are no other non-profits in Romania with ROLDA’s reach and dedication, which is why I support their mission. Dana is passionate, driven and effective in all she does with ROLDA. We will continue to support her efforts because we believe that helping homeless dogs in Romania also helps the community.

Cathy Kangas

I have been with ROLDA since 2014 and at first I had no experience with street dogs at all. I traveled to Romania where I met Dana and the organisation in Sweden started, ROLDA Sverige. I run my own business and its not always easy to find time to volunteer but when I do I always get that extra energy! I feel that great love the dogs always gives me when I visit Romania and the warmth from the people who work with ROLDA. I can not imagine how hard it has been for Dana to build such an amazing organization, it has not been easy I know that, she had difficulties but always keep on going, no matter what. The animals needs an organisation as ROLDA that will never leave no animal behind no matter what. I am proud to be a part of ROLDA!

Lisa (July 2020)

I think you and your staff are compassionate, genuine individuals. I trust you and honor you for the selfless work you do.

Rebekah

Many people would turn away from a street dog because they find them disgusting or are afraid of them. Not me. I know these poor things are just scared and hungry. Of course they're dirty! They live on the streets! What do you expect? But that doesn't make them monsters. I just want to make them feel wanted.

I have worked with Dana and Rolda since my family adopted 2 dogs from Rolda in 2011. Dana has always been professional and passionate about her work for Rolda and the dogs. Through good and bad times, we have worked together trying to improve the life of stray dogs in Galati. Danas strength and compassion for these dogs have impressed me, she never gives up!

Hege

"ROLDA was founded by Dana Costin. She has put together an international team of volunteers and staff that are almost all women. I believe Dana herself is an inspiration for the young women and girls who work with her, and know of her work in Romania. I myself am impressed by her perseverance, her passion, and the devotion she demonstrates to her many projects. She is determined to make her community, and her country, more compassionate through education and animal rescue projects. It has become almost a cliché, but it still warrants repeating. “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be measured by the way it treats its animals”. Now Dana is not Gandhi! However, she and her team will drag the Romanian masses forward with a force hard to be described in simple words."

Heather

Some might say that I have the easiest job at ROLDA because I basically prepare and evaluate them for adoption after they have been rehabilitated, but that's not true. I also see the dogs when they first arrive at ROLDA, all scared, skinny, bruised...it's painful to watch. No job is easy at a charity. It's heartwarming to see a stray dog who's been transformed into an adoptable pet, but it's also painful to watch them continue to spend years here because no one adopts them. Please, choose to adopt.

Flori

I have two small children who mean the world to me, and I would do anything for them, just as I would for an animal in pain because I believe they deserve to be treated with love and respect as well. I think of how fortunate my babies are to have me and my wife, and all I want is the same for every stray I help rescue... to have parents who care for them and love them.

Marian

Working with ROLDA has been a really great experience. I love working with others who are so passionate about saving the lives of animals, and it’s very clear, in everything they do, that ROLDA puts the needs of the animals ahead of anything else. Through my work with ROLDA I’ve been given the opportunity to learn about the difference ROLDA is making in the lives of the stray dogs on the streets of Romania. It’s also given me a chance to share their story, and the stories of the dogs who are rescued, with animal lovers throughout the United States. I hope to work and volunteer with ROLDA for years to come, as I believe in their mission and the love they have for the dogs they rescue. A dream of mine is to visit the rescue one day, to not only meet some of the rescued dogs, but to also meet Dana, the human behind the mission. Dana is a force to be reckon with and I can confidently say her work is making a huge difference in her community, and throughout the world. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with such compassionate people!

"The first time I read about ROLDA I knew in my spirit that this organization was the real deal. Your work to alleviate the suffering of innocent animals struck my heart. I pray that your work continues and grows. May God bless you for your compassion and dedication."

Carol

After passing the gates of the large shelter ROLDA, the first thing that you'll be struck by is the silence, almost unreal of this place... and then by the thunderous barking addressed to us by the 700 doggies saved by Dana: greetings-barking often or sometimes, imperative crying-barking for attention! Then there are the emotions: Astonishment in front of the magnitude of the situation, rage against the injustice created by humans, sadness of being powerless witnesses of a miserable life to which the Romanian street dogs have been exposed, joy to finally see them rescued and safe, admiration for the endless commitment and dedication of Dana and her team,...the tears, difficult to keep them from falling... so here we are losing our thoughts deep in the pure looks of the dogs in front of us and dreaming for a better world. When, after the visit, the gates are closed, we know that a piece of ROLDA will remain forever etched in our memory. Note: Lolita visited for the first time ROLDA shelters in November 2013 and shortly after, she became one of the founders which put the bases of ROLDA Swiss sister-charity. Lolita returns regularly in Romania.

Lolita Morena - August 2014

I have always been an enormous animal lover, dogs being my absolute favorite animal of all. I have three gorgeous rescue dogs, one of which I adopted from ROLDA in 2012. I was so bowled over by the fantastic rescue that Dana had built up from literally nothing. I followed the rescue over the years, feeling frustrated that I couldn’t do more to help them. My ROLDA rescue, Mia is such an amazing girl, I couldn’t bare to think of other dogs like her suffering on the streets. I saw a post on Facebook from Dana one day asking for volunteers and jumped at the chance to get involved. I started off just helping with the inbox, sending thank you emails and answering inquiries. Then this year I became ROLDA’s adoption coordinator for the UK. The role is so rewarding, I get to help find loving forever homes for dogs who have had the most awful start in life. Once a dog is adopted that also frees space at the rescue for another dog to be saved from the streets. The ROLDA team are so caring, I’ve had so much support and help in learning the role from the UK manager Gemma. I now feel part of an amazing team that’s doing something really special. I would highly recommend volunteering, even if you only have an hour a week to spare, you could be helping to do something really incredible.

The young generation is the hope for this country to solve its (many) problems.

H.E. Matthijs van Bonzel

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…

Yelena

"I extend the hand of friendship to you and your workers and wish you success in saving all the dogs that need saving and that you are able through peoples donations and kindness, to give all Romania animals safe shelter, food and security. The days of murdering our beloved animals must come to an end as we educate people and stop money being made from their deaths. Keep this wonderful work going!"

Paula

"I am so pleased to help, in some small way, the magnificent work you do in saving the lives of abused, abandoned dogs living in appalling conditions and often near death. Bringing them some semblance of happiness with food and shelter is reward in itself, feeling sorry for their plight is not enough, you have to commit to helping them. Sincere thanks for the wonderful work you do, you are making all the difference to their lives. THANK YOU."

Fiona

I think of how fortunate my babies are to have me and my wife, and all I want is the same for every stray I help rescue... to have parents who care for them and love them.

Until the moment I started working with ROLDA, I didn't think that the animals on the street live such a hard life and can be subject to some unbelievable abuses. Gradually, I started to know the dogs, their rescue stories and how they got into the ROLDA shelter. I appreciate all the efforts that Dana makes and the devotion she has, not many people would do this for some animals on the street. I'm glad I can help, even if my help is insignificant for their needs, I just hope it matters at least a little! Little by little it becomes much!

Anca (July 2020)

The ROLDA sanctuaries are run by the devoted Dana Costin together with her co-workers. Today there are more than six hundred dogs, and the donkey Ben, for them to care for. A visit at the large sanctuary is an emotional experience: Glad to see all these dogs saved from their former life, victims of hunger, violence and danger of accidents and diseases - sad to see how much more care they need, and how many of them crave intensively for contact with humans. Rolda's goal is to adopt as many of these dogs as possible to homes in Europe, where they can get love and care and a life worthy a living soul. A lot of work is also done to cure dogs who suffer from injuries and diseases. To save lives is Rolda's aim, but also to take the responsibility to put an end to a life that consists of suffering and pain. Fundraising is not easy. Although there are many dog lovers around Europe who contribute, the need is still urgent. Costs for veterinary, vaccinations, maintenance, food for the dogs and material of all kinds is in constant need. Rolda also engages in feeding stray dogs and campaigns for sterilization of dogs in the neighborhood. Being a volunteer is for me, personally, rewarding: I can see that my money does go straight to what they are meant for and that our work gives many animals a home and a better life.

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.

"Thank you, Dana! I must praise you for your undying work on behalf of our animal companions who need all the help we can give them. They are wonderful creatures and deserve everything we do for them."

Barbara - ROLDA USA Founder

We truly appreciate all the information and your transparency with the way you run your organization. These are the kind of partnerships we like to build and support for many years. Bless your kind heart and all 2 legged and 4 legged at your shelter. Having personally visit the region several years ago, I know that you are up against quite the feat. I hope we can continue to work together for years to come!

Lori, SPCA International from USA

"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."

Muriel

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.

Laure

I have been supporting ROLDA since 7 years. I heard about ROLDA when I read a post on Facebook requesting some help for the trip of the first dogs to Switzerland. I decided to help this honest association. Then, I adopted Arno. I became a member of Rolda.ch, then I joined the committee, and finally became the President of Rolda.ch. I am actually proud to be the president of this association. I have adopted Ruby in 2016. And, one week ago, visiting the shelters in Smardan, I saw Piciu, who has been severely wounded. His front left leg had to be amputated. I needed only 5 minutes to decide that I could find someplace at home to welcome Piciu.

Michele, president of Association ROLDA Suisse (July 2020)

I love animals! Plain and simple. I've always felt like I've been given a special gift to understand them and for them to understand me. I love that bond. That friendship. Living in Romania I see so many poor dogs living on the streets with no home and I just wanted to help them. When I found out about ROLDA, I knew this was my chance. ROLDA does amazing work to help animals, but they also care about people. After I lost my home, Dana offered me a home on the premises and I am forever grateful for her. In a way, I am happier because day and night I am always surrounded by the people and animals I care so much about.

"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."

The Pawzup Centre sounds like a fantastic and much-needed initiative that, I'm sure, will make a huge difference to the animals and the local community in Galati. Incorporating a therapy dogs program on top of the outreach, sterilization and rehoming work is a really progressive approach that I hope will lead to a change in attitudes about dogs.

To shelter more than 600 dogs you need to have a good notion of organization and responsibility but more than that also a sense of respect for living souls. Yes, ROLDA is great hope for many of them to have once the chance to find a deserved peaceful life. Support ROLDA today and you will have the feeling like me to have saved a life from the death.

Thank you for giving me this experience, I have felt so welcome and taken care of here and Fiorella.. I can never thank you enough for her.

Having a farm, my two kids have grown up around many animals and are big animal lovers like myself. My youngest daughter is a huge dog lover, in particular, also like myself. I believe in what ROLDA is doing and I wanted to be a part of that, so I help out as much as I can, and I encourage others to do the same...in any way they can!

Vasile

Your doing a massive job thumb’s up to you!! it comes from the heart, your reward come from the response of those beautiful animals you heal, transforming there lives and finding a wonderful loving home in return of your tireless efforts comes free licks of joy along with heaps of cuddles… keep up the fantastic work!

Toko

TI got off the train in Galati and Dana picked me up, she drove me to the shelter and it was so nice to catch up with her since it was almost 2 years than my last visit. At the shelter I was greeted with a lot of wagging tails and kisses. ROLDA dogs are truly happy dogs and you can see that they are well taken care of because otherwise they wouldn’t be so happy and search for attention. But with that said we need to remember that a life in a kennel is not a life for a dog and we need to work harder to get these lovely dogs to their forever home. Dana showed me the vet clinic and all the improvements that have been done since last time I visited. The sun went down and Dana showed me where I would spend the night… After a good night sleep a lovely ROLDA staff drove me to Bucharest airport. I can’t wait to do this again, meet all the  dogs, the nice staff and hopefully if we all work together bring dogs to their forever homes!

Sandra

Jeg har kjent Dana (grunnleggeren av ROLDA);i flere år nå, og hjelper henne bla. med å oversette tekster til norsk. Hun er en fantastisk dame med det største hjertet som fines. Jeg stoler uforbeholdent på hennes dømmekraft og vet at hun har gjort det umulige mulig gang på gang. Verden trenger flere mennesker som henne! Jeg hjelper ROLDA med oversettelse av tekst fra engelsk til norsk fordi de gjør et utrolig viktig arbeid for hjemløse dyr i Romania. Det er ikke alltid man har mulighet til å støtte alle organisasjoner man gjerne skulle hjulpet økonomisk, så det er godt å kunne bidra på andre måter!

Heidi - 2017

I pray that you will be there to continue your marvelous work for the animals and to spread the word to all around about how great the rewards are when you help an animal in distress.

"So many horrible stories, and in the middle of this storm you stand – so incredibly brave and strong! My heart is filled with pride that there are such people as you on this planet, as much as I am filled with shame and anger at people who can mistreat and abuse helpless creatures – be it animals or children.What is wrong with humanity? Keep fighting Dana, and stay strong!"

I used to work in a farm, mainly with big animals like cows and horses, but they were always treated well, so it has definitely been a challenge working with scared and abused dogs. It breaks your heart at first, I mean, I think it always will, but when you see the changes they go through at ROLDA, I am grateful to be here." wanted.

ROLDA is my greatest passion , it truly gives my life meaning and a great purpose to help the Romanian dogs . With the COVID crisis just like any other hard times in dog rescue, it only motivates me to help the ones in need even more . The dogs are helpless without us and I keep seeing their furry faces in my mind. Even though we cant travel at the time there are so many other things we can focus on to help , like getting more new happy homes ready for the time when we can finally bring all lucky dogs to Sweden again and raise money to maka life better for the ones still in Romania .Beethoven is the best thing that has happened to me and my family. we love him beyond words and he goes everywhere with us . It amazes us how smart he is and so good with everyone and everything. He loves children and other dogs and he walks like a perfect gentleman with my 88 year old grandma. He loves to cuddle and we smile all the time thanks to him. He is also my great motivation and reminder to help all his other friends that are still back in Romania . He is my lucky rescue mascot and best friend .

This is the first time when I volunteer at a foundation for animals. For me, the ROLDA Foundation is a place full of love where you can find yourself when you are sad, because the happiness on the puppies' eyes drives away any feeling of sadness. It is not only a shelter for puppies but also the home of many lives that are carefully cared for everything they need. It shows how much love there is between the members of the foundation and their puppies. I would repeat the experience as a volunteer with the most wonderful people and the cutest puppies!

Pachel

The first time I offered to translate for ROLDA, it was on impulse. I saw a request for help, and offered to translate a little. But after only a couple of translations, I discovered an organization that was not only thankful for its help, but also super-clever to SHOW you that they are! And that made the difference for me! Few others make me feel as kind and helpful as ROLDA does. Few others are equally good at thanking you for your help, or to show that they appreciate you! Therefore, Today I am active in both translating texts, managing the Norwegian facebook page, holding auctions, as well as selling homemade products in income for ROLDA!
