Current focus
In the UK
Since 2015, ROLDA UK has been raising awareness in the UK about the catastrophic conditions abandoned animals face in Romania. ROLDA UK runs a robust and comprehensive adoptions programme designed to ensure that each successful adopter is matched with the right rescue dog, to ensure the highest chance of success. We provide first class aftercare service and full rescue back up to help ensure any teething problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently and our dogs are always safe and cared for.
Globally
We focus on saving abused dogs from puppy mills from Europe, offer them shelter and find the best home for each of them, including in the UK. ROLDA team continues to evacuate and help animals from near front line in Ukraine. Our support is extended to animals affected by natural or human made disasters (floods in Bulgaria, the conflict in Middle East, earthquake in Venezuela etc) We create & support initiatives that make pets and their owners live in harmony and inspire others.
In Romania
We started our journey in Romania (Central Europe) in 2006 with the aim to solve the appalling problem of the country’s estimated millions stray population. In home country, ROLDA is helping injured, neglected animals but also people who struggle to look after their pets in a responsible manner. We run sterilization, education campaigns as well as social programs like #FriendsForever especially made to help senior people look after their beloved furry friends and never be forced to abandon them, due to economic problems. We also constantly support other smaller Romanian organizations who struggle financially. In 2026, we started the transformation of our shelter into the 1st cage-free facility for dogs in the country, pioneering this initiative in Romania, making a giant step for dogs & cats to be treated as family members.

We don’t choose easy solutions
ROLDA never puts healthy animals to sleep. We fight, together with the animals, for each life. If there is a medical solution and if the cat or dog has even a little chance to recover, we act.
