Testimonials
about ROLDA

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Thank you for all of the amazing work you do! I know it is not always easy, especially at this time of year, but please know that there are so many people cheering you on and sending love.

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!

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!

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.
