Rescued in Romania, loved all over the World
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.
0 unwanted pups born = 0 unwanted pups abandoned
Not all owners are heartless. Some are just very poor. So, we help
Before-after images show our animals’ difficult journeys. They show the resilience of dogs and our hard work.
Although abusive and punishable by law, keeping dogs in chains is still a practice in many rural areas in Romania. It is a challenge to really change things.
Dog pounds are the places hope and humanity go to die. Help shut them down!

“On behalf of the entire team, a huge thank you to Lolita Morena for supporting ROLDA’s values and standing by us step and step to help us grow. The connection between Lolita and ROLDA started in 2011 when I met her at a conference organized by one of our supporters for ROLDA in Switzerland. After that moment, Lolita was involved with us helping promote our work in Switzerland.
She visited ROLDA shelters on multiple occasions. She helped tirelessly to fight against innocent dogs kill when the Romanian government initiated and allowed to become legal the mass euthanization of stray dogs in a mindless attempt to control the stray dog population in Romania.
With Lolita’s help, many homeless dogs from ROLDA shelters found new forever homes in Switzerland which enabled us to establish a rehoming network -Association ROLDA Suisse. We hope this adoption network that started thanks to Lolita’s big heart, will become a path for a new life for many more homeless dogs so desperately needing a second chance.”
With respect and hope, Dana!
“Dana, I want to tell you such a big thank you for your kindness. You do such an inspiring job for all those dogs. I’m feeling so blessed to have experienced that in Galati Romania and I’m completely for your cause. Sending your best greetings and take care of you and all those sweet dogs.”
