Adopt a dog in Wales
adopt a dog in Wales and help us fulfill our dream of finding forever homes for most residents of the ROLDA shelter. We have over 700 dogs needing loving people to welcome them to their homes and hearts. While we know we probably won’t find homes for all of them, we still know we did our best to find homes for most of them.
This is where you come in. Quite conveniently, you are located right at the end of this long list of good things that happen to dogs once they end up in our care. But your contribution to this is by far the most important. Why? You are exactly what these dogs are looking for, which is a loving family and a permanent companion to love.
One of the things that move us to tears every time is that no matter how broken and undeniably crushed these dogs are when they end up in our care, they seem to retain hope that not all humans are bad, still trust some of us, and are still very capable of showing love. How much faith these animals have in us is remarkable! The least we can do is to reach out and open our homes to them. So, if you want to adopt a dog in Wales, you are in the right place.
So, what happens to the dogs that do not get adopted?
Don’t worry. At ROLDA, we are above the practice of euthanizing dogs in our care that have not been adopted by a certain time so that we can process others in our system. We do not operate like that, so choose us with full confidence when you want to adopt a dog in Wales.
The first thing you need to know about us is that unless our dogs are blessed by someone looking to adopt a dog in Wales, who has the resources, the time, and the patience, not to mention the knowledge and the help to take on such a dog, the ones that are too old, sick, or traumatized to ever end up in a forever home will stay with us. Thus, ROLDA becomes the forever home of all the unadoptable dogs. We do not shy away from helping even in the most extreme cases, knowing full well that we will probably care for them until the end of their lives. This is the commitment we have made. That no dog will suffer alone in the street while we are active.
So, while we cannot expect any of our international adopters to take on a load they are unprepared for, we insist on them knowing that one dog adopted is one more spot opened up for another to be saved off the street—or more resources for our permanent residents.
In other words, we are happy you chose to look at our pups when looking to adopt a dog in Wales! We are convinced you will find a match in one of our 700+ residents. We are happy to help with any details you might need, including videos showing how they interact with other dogs, with people they do not know, and with people they recognize. Look at our doggies and know that any of them would be extremely happy to come home to you!
