The adoption fee for the UK is 150 GBP which covers vaccination, pet passport, microchipping and registration in the database, as well as a crucial health test before transportation. The adoption fee doesn't include transport costs. Please visit the Adoption page to find out more.

ROLDA promote only sociable, healthy dogs via our website and we only agree to an adoption if we feel the person is ready to accept an ex-street dog. We also ensure that the dog they identify is the right temperament for them. After completing a pre-adoption application, all adopters receive a mandatory home check and they all sign an adoption contract. After receiving the dog, adopters remain in good communication with our trustworthy representatives from ROLDA international branches. These representatives often meet our dogs and their new families during various events that we organise.

Transparency is important for us because this is, in our view, the minimal form of respect that a charity should show to its supporters. Please visit one of these pages to get instant access to ROLDA financial reports:

It's linked to the current basic rate of income tax (which is currently 20 per cent). As a basic rate taxpayer, for every £1.25 you earn, you will pay 25p to the taxman and receive £1 in your pocket. It is this 25p we claim.

No! There’s no lower and upper limit, however, we do recommend at least £5 gross per month.

Until you tell us to stop. At the moment, and as long as you remain eligible, your declaration lets us reclaim past (up to four years), present and future donations.

Your Payroll Giving donation is made up of two parts: your salary donation plus the tax you would have paid on that part of your salary had you not made a donation. For example, if you are a basic rate, 20%, taxpayer, to donate £10, only £8.00 would be deducted from your salary. £2.00 is the tax you would have paid on the £10, and that is paid to the charity.
The tax effect means that, for the same net cost to you, ROLDA UK receives even more from higher-rate taxpayers.
This tax element is paid directly to the charity. The charity does not have to claim it. It is, therefore, a very cost-effective way for us to receive donations.

Yes, you can change how much you want to donate at any time. To change your donation amount, please contact your company’s payroll department.

Yes, all you would need to do is notify your payroll department.

No. It is a different system. If you give by Direct Debit you can Gift Aid it. With Payroll Giving, there is no need. Your donation is taken from pre-tax pay. The tax element is automatically taken care of.
Payroll Giving is particularly effective if you are a 40% or 45% taxpayer. It ensures we receive all the tax relating to your donation.
