History
Learn a bit of our history, how ROLDA started, why we operate in Galati, what we have been able to change for animals in a country where public shelters continue to put Romania to shame under EU's indifferent eyes.
“Can’t be done! This is Romania” is not in Dana’s vocabulary.
Mission
Our mission is to ensure animals have a good life by advocating for them and by inspiring everyone to treat them with compassion and respect. Our strategy will build on these strong beliefs for years to come.
We provide a safe haven for senior and disabled cats with low chances of adoption.

Break dogs chain
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.
We are always looking for new foster carers throughout the UK as it provides a stable halfway house between the Romanian shelters and their forever home.
We run two dog shelters, a cat sanctuary and help over 1000 animals each year. But if it wasn’t for the generosity of our supporters like you, we wouldn’t exist. Can you continue help fund our vital work?
Your donation helps us rescue animals from cruelty and neglect, care for them and find them loving homes. During the war, we extend our support to animals from Ukraine.

Our Vision
Our vision is a World where all animals are treated with kindness and compassion. But we can’t do it alone. Choose to support a one-off cost or a project.
Recycle your used printer cartridges for our charity so we can save more dogs. ROLDA has teamed up with www.recycle4charity.co.uk to help raise funds for stray dogs in Romania —while helping the environment— by encouraging you to recycle your ink cartridges.
With us, a dog stops subsisting, and starts living!
We are grateful to our supporters for giving us the means, and the trust, to live such an amazing experience, and to give so many homeless animals a second chance at life.
Vision
We want to share our stories and our mission around the World, with other animal lovers that embrace our vision. We are always happy to hear your thoughts, your suggestions, and your ideas.
Efforts
Constructive criticism and engaging people from communities both locally, and internationally, always makes us stronger; makes us think harder, and makes us more effective in our rescue efforts.
We have been successfully saving and rehabilitating animals in need for over a decade. But we never stop learning, and never stop striving to better serve our community, including the millions of strays on our streets.
