Thank you for your interest in joining the Romanian League in Defense of Animals (ROLDA) volunteer team! At ROLDA, our mission drives us to transform the lives of animals in need. We care for the homeless, abused, malnourished, or abandoned animals of Romania and Ukraine. With unwavering dedication and a commitment to using our limited resources responsibly, efficiently, and transparently, we strive to make a more significant impact year after year.

Let me tell you a bit about us…
ROLDA is a small, dedicated team with members spanning the globe, from the US and UK to Australia, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, and, of course, Romania.
Our commitment is to ensure that most of our funding goes directly towards supporting our shelters and rescue operations. We need volunteers to help us continue our vital work for animals in need.
Make a difference for animals in Romania, whether at the shelter or from home.
