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

“This is one of the worst I’ve seen” exclaimed our vet, gingerly removing a plastic shopping bag stuck to Bela’s deep and infected facial wound. Bela’s story begins in the village of Cismele, South-East Romania, one of the country’s poorest rural communities.

Bela was attacked and left for dead.
She managed to drag her injured body so she could be seen before collapsing. When the ROLDA Rescue Team arrived, Bela was motionless and looked like she was already gone.
But then she stirred and her eyes begged for help. Bela has experienced fear and pain as no dog should. Only with your help can we save dogs like Bela, who need urgent, life-saving treatment.

A “human” threw 2 pups in a bag and abandoned them, together with their mum, who was tied up by our shelter gate. When our caretakers saw something moving in the bag, they knew what to expect, because they have been seeing this scene over and over again, for years.
The big surprise was once the bag was opened and from its bottom appeared 2 pairs of gorgeous eyes and simply irresistible smiling faces. At ROLDA, this newly rescued family will get everything we are able to offer them. The female adult is not adoptable yet, because she is a little aggressive. The pups will separated immediately after they stop being dependent on their mum.
Real problems. Real animals.
