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.
For some a temporary home, for others a permanent one. Either way, it’s vital to all.
Neglect, abuse and abandonment, backed by lack of knowledge are the causes of suffering we need to address. How? By educating people.

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

How MuchLoved pages help ROLDA continue their lifesaving efforts.
At ROLDA, we now offer a way to create a MuchLoved tribute page, honouring all the dogs we help, the unseen, the unnamed, and those who wouldn’t live without kindness.
With a MuchLoved tribute page, people can encourage loved ones to give to
ROLDA, rather than sending flowers or gifts.
Traditionally, people make these pages in memory of a person, often with a
photograph, or to celebrate an occasion. ROLDA’s work makes this project special by honouring every dog we save.
It is a way of saying: ‘I care, I choose compassion and kindness and to help, even when I don’t know their name’. “I choose compassion, kindness and to help, even when I don’t know the name.”
Each year in Romania, countless unwanted puppies are brought into the world and are often treated as commodities and discarded.
Those dogs are the reason ROLDA exists.
By supporting a MuchLoved tribute page for ROLDA, donors ensure that all dogs in need get food, medical care, shelter, and safety, regardless of the time or place.
It is a tribute to compassion itself. Kindness helps change a life!
Teddy, discovered on the outskirts of a Romanian town, was run over by a car and left injured and in pain. ROLDA rescue team was able to help him and get emergency veterinary help and care. Now Teddy is due to be rehomed with a loving family.
Teddy received the following, thanks to donations made through MuchLoved pages:
● emergency veterinary treatment
● regular meals and shelter
● care and love
Today, he is safe, not because someone knew his name, but because someone chose to care.
Every day, your tribute provides aid to dogs like Teddy.
A MuchLoved page can be created:
in memory of a loved one
instead of flowers at a funeral
to mark a birthday or anniversary
or simply because animals mattered deeply to you
The page remains online, allowing others to return, remember, and give again — creating a lasting act of kindness.
Some people leave possessions behind. Others leave mercy.
