ROLDA UK

ROLDA UK activity consists of fundraising and rehoming of Romanian dogs in British homes (including transport of these dogs to UK)

ROLDA is a Romania animal welfare charity. We operate in Romania to efficiently, humanely and responsibly control the homeless animal population, estimated to be 2.5 million. Our six keys focuses are: rescue, rehabilitation, sheltering, sterilisation, social programmes and education (and cuddles). We have a strict no-kill policy. ROLDA UK works to help ROLDA Romania to achieve these goals, by attr

acting donations and rehoming rescued stray dogs where possible. With an estimated 2.5 million stray dogs, we at ROLDA need as much help as we can get to make sure these poor animals are given the home they deserve.

Will you help Lada walk again? 💗

Lada is a friendly and energetic little dog who loved exploring her neighbourhood until one tragic day when she was hit by a car 😥

Inessa, our fellow animal rescuer, sprang into action and ensured Lada received specialised treatment for her severe spinal fracture. The surgery was successful, but Lada has a long journey ahead of her.

This precious girl is unable to walk right now, but she's showing sensitivity in her back legs, which means there is hope!

A custom cart has been designed to help her get around, but we need your help building it!

❤‍🩹 Your donation, no matter how big or small, can help Lada regain her mobility and get back to her adventurous self.

Another FURever home success story!

Sweet Ella has just celebrated her one-year adoptiversary with her wonderful family. Here's what her pawrents have to say about Ella:

“Dear Ella, today marks a year since you came to us. What an incredible journey you've been on, from being scared, discouraged, and timid to becoming a confident and proud girl who loves going on adventures. We are still working on some of your anxieties, but we are so proud of you and your progress.”

We love seeing our ROLDA dogs come out of their shells and flourish in their new homes.

💙💛❤️

Did you know that approximately 35% of the world's dogs and cats are homeless? 😥

Sadly, recent world conflicts and natural disasters have only increased the number of displaced animals in need.

On International Homeless Animals Day, we want to shine a light on the millions of animals around the world who face life without a home ❤‍🩹

Every animal dreams of a warm, loving home, and we want to make that a reality for as many as possible. But we can't do it alone…

You can help us save more precious lives by:

🐾 Making a donation: your donations are lifesaving, no matter how big or small!

🐾 (if you live in Sweden, Switzerland or UK where ROLDA has teams to coordinate and supervise adoptions) or fostering (if you live in the UK): by adopting or fostering, you're saving two lives—giving an animal a second chance and creating space in our shelters to save another.

This injured cat was rescued by a kind old lady from the streets of Galati, Romania. The cat urgently needed eye surgery, and the lady, facing financial struggles, turned to ROLDA for help. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, the cat received the crucial surgery and is now on the road to a full recovery.

The lady was overjoyed to see her beloved rescued cat happy and healthy again, and she expressed deep gratitude for the kindness of our supporters who stepped in when she needed it most. Any assistance you can provide would truly make a meaningful difference in ensuring that injured animals like this one receive the care they need.

How incredible is Moses' transformation? 😍

This sweet boy used to live with a woman who loved her animals dearly but faced challenging living conditions without water, electricity, or heating.

Dedicated animal rescuer, Tatyana helped as much as she could and provided food and other essential resources to Moses' family.

Ultimately, it was in his best interest to find a new home and with the help of volunteers, Tatyana was able to find a loving new home for precious Moses ❤‍🩹

His new life is filled with joy, comfort, and happiness. We are so proud of his transformation and grateful to everyone who made this possible.

At ROLDA, we support community animal rescuers like Irina, who has devoted her life to caring for animals in need, like Stepashka

Stepashka, a defenceless little puppy, was brought to Irina's shelter in Ukraine eight years ago with a broken spine and a bladder prolapse.

This precious pup survived his injuries but never regained his mobility. Unfortunately, it's incredibly difficult to rehome dogs with complex medical needs like Stepashka.

However, Irina's shelter has cared for this sweet boy for the last eight years, giving him a wonderful life filled with love and dedicated medical care.

Without a shelter like Irina's, Stepashka's story would have ended very differently.

❤️ We have 2 bigger dogs who I would really love to see leave the shelter, although in an ideal world I’d love all the dogs to leave 🙏❤️

First is the beautiful Pamela … Pamela has a potential home offer but we’d really like Pamela in a foster home first and see how she settles and to asses her properly. She is said to be a lovely girl, happy, playful and energetic, gets on well with other dogs but likes to eat separately from them .

2nd is the very handsome and fluffy Royce ❤️
Royce is 5 and has been in the shelter for so long. He was so happy to have a little bit of freedom when he was taken out for his video and I’m sure he would be such a great dog in the right home. He is said to prefer human company to other dogs so a home or foster home as an only dog may be best at first to see how he goes❤️

If you think you could help either of these lovely doggies please get in touch 🙏

You have the power to give hope to an animal in need 🐶🐕🐱

❤️‍🩹 The animals in our care have not had easy lives. Many have faced abuse, been on the frontlines of war, and battled life-threatening injuries and diseases.

While their stories start to change the moment our team rescues them, no animal dreams of life in a shelter. Every animal deserves a life filled with love, comfort, treats, and a human that adores them.

You can help give hope to these animals by adopting from ROLDA ✨

Adoption is one of the most effective ways to support our work, as it frees up space to help another animal in need. It’s also incredibly rewarding to give a pet the love and security they so desperately deserve.

Adopting from ROLDA is simple, and our adoption team will guide you through each step of the process. Head over to our website to find your new furry family member today.

She doesn’t deserve to be locked away 😞 Just look how happy she is to have a little bit of freedom for a short while ❤️ Please please help me find her a home or a foster home 🙏🙏 Please share her post, I would be so grateful 🥰 Homecheck and adoption fee apply Homecheck only for fostering Full life time RBU and support ROLDA UK rolda.org [email protected] https://form.jotform.com/202804348394357 More pics / video in the comments ❤️

❤️ Meet Royce ❤️ Royce is nearly 5 and has been at the shelter for 4 years 😩 This was the first time he has been taken out of his enclosure since arriving. There was an application for him but it’s been cancelled 😞 As always, I asked for a couple of videos. Even though he has no interest I am still going to post his videos in the hope that someone falls in love with him 🙏 Royce would probably be best in a home where he is the only dog. He prefers human company even though he can be a little shy to start with, hardly surprising considering he has been locked away for so long 😞 He is a big boy, as you can see, lots of floof that needs brushing out ! So Royce has had a little bit of freedom, please don’t let it be his last 💔 you can see how happy he is scratching up the ground ! I will post the other 2 short videos in the comments.

He was reserved 3 years ago and I was so happy for him but his adoption was cancelled 😞 This video was taken 2 years ago and this was the last time he was taken out of his pen 💔 My heart breaks for this old boy - imagine getting a tiny short glimps of the outside world - a few new sniffs of grass and then being taken back 💔 possible never to leave again …. At Toleas age, this may be his last chance of freedom. Is there anyone who could even foster this poor boy, just so that he at least has a chance of some life before it’s too late …..

It’s quite a big deal for our dogs to get a video - when someone asks about a certain dog, I ask for a video of them. This is often the only time they are taken out of their pen. So when the adoption or interest is then cancelled, the dog goes back in to wait and wait and wait 😞 it is truly heart breaking and always rips a little bit more of my heart out 😞.

Our Story

ROLDA mission is to save responsibly, efficiently and humanely the strays and abused animals in Romania.

It all began with Printz, the German Shepherd Dana found abandoned in her local park. He had been in a dog fight and was terribly wounded. Dana carried him back to her parent’s apartment where, with love and rehabilitation, he made a full recovery. Due to aggressive behaviour from his many dog fights, Dana was unable to personally rescue another dog until he passed in 2002, but saving this soul sparked a desire to help more suffering strays and she worked tirelessly to persuade friends and family to lend her their homes and gardens to provide safe shelter for any stray that needed her.

Dana, only speaking Romanian and a stranger to the computer, began building the foundations of ROLDA, quickly identifying international countries as a life saving source of support. ROLDA started as a small group, with a very modest website but enough to start fundraising. In 2005 Dana attended a Dog’s Trust shelter management course in London and ROLDA build their first set of kennels while keeping the highly regarded UK model in mind. This model insulated dogs from the bitter Romania winter and gave them comfort where they previously had none.

With sheer determination to help the millions of stray dogs in her country and in collaboration with the largest steel producer in Europe, Dana organised the build of a large, modern shelter, capable of housing up to 700 dogs. ROLDA’s shelters have been an example to other Romanian animal rescue organisations and have attracted visitors from far and wide.
