Rescued in Romania, loved all over the World
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.

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.

GIVE TIME
According to some UK and European regulations which ROLDA chooses to respect. You can’t work for a charity if you are under 14 years old, even if the charity doesn’t pay you.
As a member of NCVO, ROLDA supports volunteering initiatives because they’re essential for a better society. In USA, UK and Europe, volunteering = work experience. On request, ROLDA provides recommendation letter for volunteering activities.
If you have the chance, combine your passion for travel and volunteering, and join us at our ROLDA shelters in Galati, Romania where thousands of stray dogs need saving.
Dogs you can help save!
Once a stray dog has been rescued and offered sanctuary at ROLDA, it doesn’t mean he or she has forgotten the trauma they suffered while living on the streets. For many, it takes weeks and months to recover, but their healing process is better with the embrace of human companionship.
Here at ROLDA, there are many ways you can help our charity and our community. Our staff and our dogs will always keep you occupied and make you feel needed, and more importantly, they’ll make you feel like you belong.
Whether it’s your first volunteering experience at an animal charity, or if you’ve helped animals in other parts of the world, there is always room to educate yourself about the stray crisis in Romania and the obstacles our organization faces in order to help them.
Trauma is an extremely difficult experience to overcome, and we work very hard to help every dog we rescue recover from these painful moments in their past. Some take longer than others, but eventually every dog begins to wag their tail and smile, so we encourage you to enjoy the view during your stay. It’s a beautiful and unforgettable sight!
ROLDA recognizes that there are many animal charities worldwide fighting for the same solution as we are, but we believe that we are unique in our own special way and that’s what separates us from the rest. We have a culture of family, friendship, and community between animals and humans that we protect and preserve because it’s what drives us to continue fighting for the voiceless animals we swore to help. Join us and become part of a new and unique culture of activism!
Unconditional love.
“Jeg har kjent Dana (grunnleggeren av ROLDA);i flere år nå, og hjelper henne bla. med å oversette tekster til norsk. Hun er en fantastisk dame med det største hjertet som fines. Jeg stoler uforbeholdent på hennes dømmekraft og vet at hun har gjort det umulige mulig gang på gang. Verden trenger flere mennesker som henne! Jeg hjelper ROLDA med oversettelse av tekst fra engelsk til norsk fordi de gjør et utrolig viktig arbeid for hjemløse dyr i Romania. Det er ikke alltid man har mulighet til å støtte alle organisasjoner man gjerne skulle hjulpet økonomisk, så det er godt å kunne bidra på andre måter!”
Use your skiills
Volunteers by giving their free time, they give hope. Be ready for an emotional ride with us.
Less than 5min to save the animals and the environment. By giving your free time, you give hope.
Every time ROLDA Rescue Team saves a dog in need, we wish you were here with us to caress their frail bodies, to feel their faint hearts beating, to look deep into their confused eyes, their scared souls, and so you can understand the pain they’ve so unfairly had to endure.
Remember, these dogs have never been held, snuggled, or protected before. For them to feel the warm touch of a caring person is life-changing.
We wish you were here with us when we saved Tarot (the dog rescued from burning tar), or Aika and her puppies, or when we fought for Bela’s life.
We also know that some people are afraid to use airplanes, some are simply too far away (like our US or Australian supporters) and it’s too expensive to come and rescue; some people have extremely busy lives, or small kids or busy jobs, some have medical conditions that prevent them to go on long distances.For these people who can’t travel in nearest future to help ROLDA Rescue Team in Romania, we’d like to present some examples of people who still make a great difference, helping #roldadogs from their homes.
