Adopted - November 2020
She is amazing! Honestly she is our little bundle that we couldn’t love more. She is completely settled, we take her to dog classes each week which she loves. She has some doggy friends too who she adores. I’m sorry there’s so many! Im a bit of an obsessive dog mum like that we will never be able to thank you enough for bringing her into our lives. We honestly love her to pieces and don’t know what we’d do without her. We have so many people comment on how much of a beautiful dog she is! I say that’s because she’s a mongrel.
She is the best, both of our families love her to pieces and say how she is such a good girl. Thank you for allowing us to adopt her! We won’t ever have the words to express all of our gratitude to you. She is our baby! That is so adorable that you’ve given so many dogs such a happy life honestly fills my heart with such love. I don’t think you can ever have too many pictures of them. Of course you can! Anything we can do to help more of these beautiful creatures find their forever homes!
We always say to people how rescuing really is the most incredible experience and we always recommend you to everyone who asks. I know I’ve said it so many times, but thank you all so much. The work you do is beyond incredible and we really do have so much admiration for you all. Thank you so so much, she really is the best thing that has happened to us.

Limba is wonderful!! She has totally settled here and is a truly beautiful dog. Thank you to Rolda for giving Limba another chance at life. She has enriched our lives so much.

Flash has been with me for just over a year now and to be honest adopting him was the best thing I ever did. He’s really settled here now, it didn’t take him long to find his feet in the house, my two housemates are both really pleased to have him here. Flash is such a brilliant little character, he loves sleeping on his sofa and going out for walks in the park. I’ve been lucky to be working from home so I get to spend most of the day with him, he’s no bother at all. He’s not really interested in playing with toys, ropes, balls etc, if it isn’t edible he isn’t really interested. I have spent some time trying to peak his interest but as soon as he realises something is not food he loses interest. I bought a 30 metre training lead to give him more freedom on walks, but he always stayed close to me so he’s been walking without a lead for a few months now. He spends most of the time sniffing the trees and bushes but always follows me around, during the summer I kept him on the lead more to prevent him from approaching people having barbecues. He’s been brilliant with other dogs, he likes to play and chase with the smaller ones but will give any dog that’s bigger than him a wide berth. He refuses to go out if it’s raing now and I honestly can’t remember seeing another dog that jumps over puddles lol, most dogs I have looked after go running through the. Everyone that meets Flash seems to instantly take to him and I often hear people saying how cute he is as we walk along. All in all I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a brilliant little dog.

Galileo is fine, full of energy, he loves ripping up toilet rolls! Love him to bits.

Mimi is brilliant. It’s crazy to think how far she’s come over the last year – when she arrived she was nervous about anyone/anything that crossed her path, but now she’s adventuring around London with almost no trouble at all. We even travelled back to see family before Christmas, and she loved all the attention. I thins she’s missing the beach now though! She’s also starting to go completely off lead in the park, after a lot of training and help from a few other little pups she plays with – she’s got quite the social life! We’re so grateful to the team at ROLDA for helping us find Mimi. She’s really changes our lives for the better, and I hope she’d say the same about us.

Azucar came to us a few weeks ago and although she is a very shy dog, we can see that she has a beautiful loving nature. It’s going to take a little while for Azucar to settle in properly but she’s already a part of our family and we can’t wait to see her personality shine through once she knows how safe and loved she is with us. The adoption team at ROLDA are wonderful. You have so many questions when you’re looking to adopt a dog and they are always willing to answer your queries. Their professional approach to what they do means that you are matched with the best dog for you – and they the best owner! If you’re looking to adopt a rescue dog, ROLDA is a fantastic place to start looking.

Arrow has only been with us for just over a week and from day one he has stolen our hearts and become a huge part of our family, we wouldn’t be without him! He’s settled in so well, loves his walks, playing with other dogs, and most of all… people. He stops to say hello to everyone we meet and they all say what a lovely natured dog he is! Through positive reinforcement he is doing so amazingly well in training, he’s a superstar! Beautiful inside and out, a gentle giant who just wanted a loving home that he can thrive in and he’s got that with us for life! We have never had a rescue dog before and we can honestly say it’s been the most rewarding experience of our lives. We can’t thank Dana and ROLDA team enough for rescuing Arrow and bringing him into our lives, Sarah & Gemma are amazing and are always on hand with any questions we have. We are one lucky family!

Blondie (Erica) asleep with her bff Fizzy. She has fitted in fine with family life and we absolutely adore her. Loves to help with the washing.

She’s great, she loves her sleep and home comforts! Her character comes out more every day. She’s fond of ‘her chair’ near the window and will just sit and look at you if you’re sat on the chair until you get up so she can sit in her spot! She’s a little princess.

Everything with Ducu is great, he's definitely all settled in! He has a bit of a sensitive stomach so we stick to grain free food but other than that he is great, loves going for big walks and is getting better going in the car. He was really car sick when we first got him but we have slowly built up his time in the car and he now gets in with no problem and we can manage about 20 mins before stopping for a break. I've attached a photo and a wee video. He loves taking our shoes for some reason, he doesn't chew them, just lies beside them, it's very cute! Thanks for getting in touch.

Right now we are on the train back- I had the day off of work so went walking with my mum + her dogs + Betty! Betty is so well behaved on the trains and underground
This is from a walk on Saturday with my mum’s dogs and a friend’s dog
We always say that getting Betty is the best thing we ever did- so it’s safe to say we are very happy indeed.

ROLDA is such a beautiful charity doing so much good work in Romania with stray and injured dogs. We adopted Mia from ROLDA over 9 years ago and she is the most beautiful girl we could have ever wished for. She has such a sweet personality and acts as a mother to our other two unruly dogs. We call her the fun police because she is always breaking up the boy’s fun with a well-timed “Stop it!” in doggy language. She is the most empathetic dog I have ever met. She picks up on our emotions and seems to do all the right things without us even asking her. She seems so grateful to be in a loving home. We can’t thank ROLDA enough and still keep in touch with them and support them when we can.
