Animals left behind across the Middle East
When war forces families to flee their homes, pets are often the ones left to fend for themselves. Strays wander abandoned, dangerous streets with no one left to feed them. Hungry, frightened, and alone.
The ROLDA Rescue Team is working alongside local rescuers across Turkey, Lebanon and Palestine to reach them. We have been distributing emergency pet food rations to refugees fleeing with their pets across the Turkish border, as well as feeding the growing community of stray dogs now gathering where the refugees are passing through in massive numbers.
In Bethlehem, ROLDA supports the AEA shelter, the only animal shelter in the West Bank, feeding and treating dogs and cats found injured, starving or abandoned.
These animals cannot ask for help. So we are asking you.
Donate now to feed and rescue the animals no one else will reach.

While ROLDA continue to lobby for government and law enforcement in Romania & Worldwide, we are committed to do more to eliminate puppy mills structures where animals are abused and exploited.
#FriendsForever was created by ROLDA to help seniors keep their pets healthy and prevent them from being forced to abandon the only friend they may have.
Our first built (small) shelter is now twenty years old and despite being nominated multiple times for the best shelter in Romania, its age is beginning to show and is in need of some TLC. ROLDA holds to the highest standards of comfort and care and control disease management is a top priority for us, in both our shelteras but we need help maintaining those standards and providing the best possible facilities for our dogs.
Whilst Romanian law currently prohibits the sterilisation of stray dogs (and their returning to the wild), ROLDA are operating sterilisation campaigns in poor communities, targeting the pets of low- income families who could not afford private veterinary care. These campaigns tackle abandonment– one of the primary contributing factors to the national homeless dog crisis – in two key ways.
