ROLDA has survived nightmare after nightmare

A mega rich industrial giant broke a promise to pay upkeep for dogs saved from their premises.

  • Our power supply failed… a new system had to be quickly bought and installed.

  • Our drinking water supply was condemned… and we had to collect water by truck for the dogs until we made our well safe.

  • The COVID pandemic struck… price rises and shortages, care home visits stopped, and international adoptions were banned.

  • The war in neighboring Ukraine… extra funds needed to carry out more rescue missions

ROLDA full history

In 2004, ROLDA became aware of a horror scenario unfolding on our doorstep. A local steel mill, owned by one of Britain’s and the world’s richest men, Laskmi Mittal, had become an involuntary home to countless stray dogs desperately seeking shelter and food.
