Why to invest in PawzUp Project?

ROLDA operates in one of the poorest regions of Romania, where a family of 4 (or more) members survive with approx. 150 EUR a month. Around 200,000 street dogs, working animals (donkeys, horses) and poor pets (cats, dogs) are exposed to starvation, risk of abandon, diseases, death. The local small clinic can’t cope with a huge demand of small animals wounded, sick and large animals are basically sacrificed because there is no veterinary clinic equipped for them. For x-ray, RMN or other complicated investigation, (or often for a correct diagnostic) a pet must be transported to Bucharest (250km, 4 hours driving) but often the animal die because can’t be stabilized for transport.

Lack of infrastructure for south, north, east side of Romania and shortage of qualified personnel only makes the situation worse for both animals and people that care for them.

Who are the beneficiaries of PawzUp Project?

PawzUp is an unique project addressed to:

• Second metropolitan zone (after Bucharest) Galati-Braila
• Central Moldavia (one of the poorest regions of Romania)
• A surface of 27.158 km2 (half size of Switzerland country) to be covered where approx. 200.000 animals need us
• 2.000 animals estimated to be helped every year

PawzUp Project covers an area of 4.5 hectares of land (ROLDA’s property), located outside the city of Galati. Imagine an area of 27158 km2 (half area of Switzerland country). This huge area totally lacks of veterinary clinic, combined with modern sheltering facilities for animals from where local community can safely adopt, without being worried about the risk of infection or diseases.
