Because every animal deserves to be respected
Preventive care is the best way of showing these dogs somebody is really looking out for them, by not letting them contract diseases and parasites.
Taking care of animals means keeping preventable illnesses at bay.
Transmissible from dog to dog, a terrible condition easier to prevent than cure.
More than being a nuisance, these parasites may carry crippling or fatal diseases.
Neglect, abuse and abandonment, backed by lack of knowledge are the causes of suffering we need to address. How? By educating people.

🌟 Meet our PetPal Star, Yoshi! 🌟
Yoshi, alias Didier at ROLDA’s, is our family’s sunshine. He is around 13 and living his best life with us since 6 years when we adopted him from ROLDA.
Doing long jumps on walks is his speciality, even at his age and with some metallic screws and plates in his knee.
We have the best fitting dog ever for our family and he is happy and loved, always playing and squabbling with his non-furry two-legged 20 years old brother.
We know how much your furry friends mean to you—their playful antics, wet noses, and comforting purrs—and we’d love to celebrate them! Our Pet Pal Gallery is a space dedicated to honouring the pets who enrich our lives daily, where you’ll find heart-warming photos and stories.
The bond you share, whether forged through rescue, childhood companionship, or a chance encounter, holds a unique and valuable story. Don’t miss this opportunity; share their captivating magic with the world and let their spellbinding essence shine!
Share a picture of your beloved pet, whether from the past or present.
Their kindness and unwavering support make them truly special to us.
We will showcase your pet’s tribute with honor in our Pet Pal Gallery, alongside other cherished memories.
Each month, we’ll select a Pet of the Month to showcase on our website and across all our social media platforms, giving them some well-deserved online fame!
As an added thank you, our Pet of the Month winner will receive a vibrant red, limited edition ROLDA pet bandana—a soft accessory perfect for showing off your pet’s star status! It's so soft, your pet's fur will thank you. It's a fun and meaningful way to:
The gallery showcases each pet’s unique personality, with vibrant portraits capturing their individual quirks and expressions.
By sharing your pet’s story, you’re not only honouring their memory with heart-warming tales of love and hope, but you’re also helping us create a narrative that inspires others with the resilience of the human-animal bond and the possibility of second chances, filled with the sounds of happy barks and purrs.
Is your pet ready for their close-up? Let’s show them off!
Every pet has a unique and heartwarming story, your shared memories and heartfelt words, filled with love and perhaps a few tears, will not only honour your pet but also inspire and connect our amazing community of animal lovers.
So pleased and happy that Darie is relaxing!
She is awesome!
It’s been two years today since Phoebe has been sharing our lives.
Here is Lola. She came home to us early on Sunday morning on the 3rd March.
Early this year, my family and I decided to open our house and hearts to a dog in need and give them a loving, forever home.
Tom is well. Very well. He has been an absolute joy to welcome into our home.
Yoshi (aka Didier at ROLDA) is our family’s sunshine!
The PetPal Gallery isn’t just a collection of pictures; it’s a vibrant celebration of the unique bond between humans and their pets, showcasing heartwarming images and capturing the joy and love they share. Every shared photo, capturing a playful moment or a tender gaze, and every message, echoing the love and admiration for these animals, helps us connect, remember, and appreciate the joy they bring.
Sharing your stories isn’t just about creating a loving keepsake; it’s a way to connect with your loved ones on a deeper level, preserving laughter, tears, and everything in between.
We hope you enjoy browsing through this heartfelt collection, feeling the warmth and love in every picture. We are so excited to see your beautiful photos and read your touching tributes; your contributions have made our community even more wonderful—thank you!
