Christmas letter
Dear Santa, I heard that you might be out there somewhere you help bring people and make kid’s dreams come true. I have a different kind of request in case you are there, for me, too. Right now, it’s snowing and I am very cold. I wish the warmer nights of springtime would come back soon. Or at least, it would be nice if I could have something to keep me warm.
Dear Santa,
I heard that you might be out there somewhere you help bring people and make kid’s dreams come true. I have a different kind of request in case you are there, for me, too. Right now, it’s snowing and I am very cold. I wish the warmer nights of springtime would come back soon. Or at least, it would be nice if I could have something to keep me warm.
Please don’t make hot summer days return too fast as my skin will start itching because of the fleas and bugs. It’s exhausting trying to find clean water to drink! A few weeks ago, I was hit by a car. It was so painful! But I hid in some bushes and waited until the pain passed. And it did, eventually… but I am still limping a bit.
During the time I was injured, I could hardly hunt my bones so I was always hungry and when sleepy, I dream so often about a juicy bone with meat.
Can you bring me a whole big bone only for myself? This reminds me to ask you something else: Will you help make the large drowned dog disappear when I am eating my dinner and he always steals it from me? Maybe it would be possible for you to bring him a bone too, to keep him busy!
But the one thing that would make my dreams come true would be to have a house where people give me hugs, look after me gently, whew I can be loved and where I can safely love back.
A place where I can smell in the morning egg eyes and lick the leftovers from the dish, where I will have a warm bed near a fireplace and someone to play with me, perhaps with a squeaky toy in the shape of a ball and a few newspapers to shred… or maybe these ones not a good idea…
Will the house be possible instead of anything else?
What shall I do to make this happen?
Over the years, thanks to ROLDA supporters hundreds of ex-street dogs found their safe homes. Please be compassionate and adopt a street dog, saved in our shelters instead of buying a pure breed puppy!
Contact us at contact@rolda.org to find out how.
We have 700 dogs in our private shelters: all saved from being brutally killed. Now, all 700 dogs have a new better future ahead and are looked after responsibly, day by day. Every time a dog is safely adopted, we have a spare place in our shelters to save one more from the streets.
Can’t adopt? Please donate!
Because of you, our dogs will have a less lonely Christmas!

Even though Doina was someone’s pet, she was never given a name. It was us who named her Doina when her family brought her to us after their other dog (who is more than twice her size) bit off her left eye.
The history of ROLDA large shelter read details
In 2004, ROLDA became aware of a horror scenario unfolding on our doorstep. A local steel mill, owned by one of Britain’s and the world’s richest men, Lakshmi Mittal, had become an involuntary home to countless stray dogs desperately seeking shelter and food.
Help for Chick
Chick was found not far from our shelter. She was extremely dehydrated and full of parasites. Flies were feeding on her bloody, cracked skin caused by repeated biting and scratching. She had chewed through most of her fur, leaving her damaged skin exposed to horrible infections which, sadly, had already begun to consume her from the outside in.
ROLDA in Caracal
My name is Dana and I live in Caracal, Olt county. For many years, I save cats and I consider that the first step to stop the abandons is to spay/neuter cats. I contacted ROLDA who helped me already cover a large number of sterilizations for cats from Caracal town.
