Ever since seeing those early television pictures of families crossing the Ukraine border with their pets I have wanted to donate something to your charity. I love all animals and wild life…in fact I have more respect for them than most people these days. It is wonderful that the world still has caring people,like yourselves to treat those creatures that are less fortunate.Keep up the good work!

In October 2023 I had the pleasure of volunteering at the ROLDA in Galati, Romania. I had been reading about various organizations that rescued animals from Ukraine because of the war. Since Galati is very close to the Ukraine border it seemed like a logical choice to visit and volunteer, and articles I had read indicated that ROLDA had an excellent reputation. As I entered the shelter I was immediately impressed with how clean and well kept the grounds were. New, very green grass had grown in and a new cat shelter had just been built. Small dogs and newborn puppies are housed in a clean, climate controlled building, away from the larger dogs. The back section of the shelter grounds is where the other dogs are. Again I was impressed with how clean this area and the cages were. The dogs are moved on a rotating basis to an outdoor area, which is fenced-in, where they are allowed to play while their cages are being cleaned and disinfected. This is done by 2 dedicated and hard-working women, Flori and Aurelia. They work tirelessly, and their love for all the animals at the shelter touched my heart! The dogs and cats at ROLDA Galati are very well taken care of. They are examined and treated by a veterinarian. Thank you to Flori and Aurelia for a wonderful experience!

My name is Fernando Diaz I’m one of the collaborators to make all this hard work go forward and help more and more dogs every day. In my case it is my very first time working with a charity association and the experience of seeing how my little sand granule makes a difference in the life and wellbeing of any pet that is struggling to survive is amazing. Plus the good feeling of being useful and doing something to change the life of the animals.

I joined ROLDA in July 2021 and my role is UK Adoption Manager. Everyone at ROLDA shares the same love and passion to help as many dogs as they can and bring happiness to the dogs and adopters equally. The team are amazing and have become my second family, great friends and are so supportive in every way. Our dogs are loved by all of us and we take huge pride in finding them the best homes possible. I myself have 7 dogs, all rescues from Romania, including one ROLDA dog.
If you are looking to volunteer for an amazing rescue or adopt a new member of your family I couldn’t recommend ROLDA highly enough ❤️

I volunteer because I have a deep love for all animals and want to help those who suffer – from direct human abuse, and from neglect and our destrution of their natural habitats. I love to read success stories, but it doesn’t discourage me to read also stories where help came too late. It is very interesting to be informed about how animals live and are treated in Romania – both domestic and wild animals.

To help the weakest of the weakest. To show thankfulness to the people who made it possible for us to adopt the best dog in the world. 2. I love to read about successful stories, and all about your pedagogical work with people in Romania, especially men. 3. no need to convince me – I will do it anyway, even when Honey is gone.

I volunteer because I went to Romania and saw how hard life was for all the street dogs. The first time I went there for vacation but felt I had to be part of the solution. On the website, I love to see happy endings. before and after pics and some extra attention to old dogs. To feel we do something that actually works and makes a difference. When I see pics of the dogs happy in their new homes gives me all my motivation.
