We fight against animal abandonment by taking them in or helping their owners.

Fighting animal cruelty, neglect and abuse is a constant uphill battle for us.

We pay for sterilization campaigns, the humane way to stop stray overpopulation.

Help us get illegal shelters and their traumatizing practices become history.

Wildlife trafficking is life-threatening for the animals. ROLDA is fighting against it.

We want to stop wildlife tourism exploitation. Join us.

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.

Find out some of the most important moments of ROLDA activity.

To make HOME a little better for every living soul. To give SHELTER.

Because the bigger the challenge, the bigger the people rising up to face it.

Founder & team

that makes the rescue work of ROLDA UK possible in areas where animals have no one else.

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.

What we do

Help animals in need and people who look after them

Where we work

Since 2021, ROLDA expanded its support to different other cities across Romania

Home is where the heart is. And our heart now shelters hundreds of animals.

Animals from poor communities in Tulcea benefit from ROLDA support since 2021.

Covering the costs of cat spaying/neutering programs, as well as food donations.

Care for animals

Preventive care (treatments, screening) is the smart way to continue to make sure the animals don’t contract diseases and parasites.

Taking care of animals means keeping preventable illnesses at bay.

Transmissible from dog to dog, a terrible condition easier to prevent than cure.

More than being a nuisance, these parasites may carry crippling or fatal diseases.

Programs

Neglect, abuse and abandonment, backed by lack of knowledge are the causes of suffering we need to address. How? By educating people.

0 unwanted pups born = 0 unwanted pups abandoned

Not all owners are heartless. Some are just very poor. So, we help

Rescue work

Before-after images show our animals’ difficult journeys. They show the resilience of dogs and our hard work.
