Meet the UK team
Meet the great people who are working in the UK to make a difference for ROLDA and our animals
Milestones
Veronica T. was the first British person who raised funds for ROLDA, helping us to build the first kennels at small shelter (insulated kennels made by wood).
Dana attended a 2 week’s course at Dogs Trust and visited Pine Ridge Sanctuary.
Mr. A. (A British supporter who preferred to remain anonymous) generously made a donation to help us purchase the land where the big shelter was built, enabling us to save thousands of dogs on death row.
The ROLDA veterinary received training at Mayhew in 2006.
The company owned by Lakshmi Mittal (British-Indian) was convinced by ROLDA to invest into a humane approach to deal with 10k strays which roam on his property, instead of mass-poison them.
Partnership with Mittal ended when they refused to honor the contract. ROLDA won the lawsuit against the company.
ROLDA UK came into existence as CIO.
Adoptions in the UK continued since ROLDA exists and hopefully will never stop. British supporters, grant makers and legacy givers keep ROLDA UK alive!
ROLDA is an internationally supported charity working in Romania to solve the appalling problem of the country’s homeless animals – estimated to be in the millions – in a humane, efficient and responsible manner. Our six key focuses are: rescue, rehabilitation, sheltering, sterilisation, social programmes and education.
We have a strict no-kill policy. ROLDA UK works to help ROLDA Romania to achieve these goals, by attracting donations and rehoming rescued stray dogs where possible. With an overwhelming number of stray dogs, ROLDA UK requires as much help as possible to ensure that these poor animals receive the home they deserve.
Unconditional love.

We provide access to information and advice about various animal topics (Simple rules to keep your pet safe from the hot pavements; Mini guide about responsible dog ownership How to create a disaster plan for your dog Tips for traveling with your pet; Pet fire safety; etc). You can find this here.
We offer free downloadable materials in our ROLDA Online Shop (e.g. Pet Rescue Decals which let the emergency services know how many pets you have in your home, in case of a disaster).
Pino was cruelly abandoned in the midst of freezing winter, left to fend for himself as a helpless 6 months-old kitten. Luckily his cries for help were heard by his our friends from the Great Catsby association and he soon became part of our family of rescued babies. At the moment he is enjoying life in his foster home, sleeping most of the day in cozy fluffy cat beds, chasing his foster furry friends and hunting the feather toy like there’s no tomorrow.
This defenseless dog was shot in his front paw, in the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine. We were relieved to know that rescue efforts done by our friend Robert, were successful in saving the dog’s life. He took the dog immediately to the vet clinic where he was examined, the wound was cleaned and he had a surgery to amputate the rest of his front leg. Chips has made a remarkable recovery and the wonderful news is that he will soon be traveling to his new family in Germany.
PawzUp is a bold project that vows to make a difference; a way to spark the light between animals and people. PawzUp is our way to bring people and animals together and allow them to help one another and enjoy each other’s company.
The new centre will consist of seven buildings, creating a vibrant and diverse environment for visitors. The construction will start with the dog shelter, and once the team completes it, they will begin constructing the adoption zone.
Joining the ROLDA Community in the UK is a simple and fulfilling experience! Whether you’re a dedicated animal lover or simply want to make a difference, our community welcomes everyone.
The next adopted dog might be yours?
