A little bit of history

The shelter mascot: Printz

Mix German shepherd, Printz was the first dog saved by Dana, ROLDA Founder. Discovered in a local park, where he was abandoned with multiple open wounds, it was obvious that Printz was the victim of the dog’s illegal fighting.

He lost the fight with another dog and was disposed of like a bag of trash. But instead, he won Dana’s heart and became the first from a long series of rescued animals. Printz left this World in 2002 but will always remain the dog that inspired us to create ROLDA and the first dog that fuel our dreams and ambitions.
