<span style="color: #f3c72a;">0.6$/week</span> to help a rescued animal be safe!

Hundreds of Rescue Animals are helped because someone cared about and for them

Here are some examples from our shelters:

2 senior cats from nearby county Tulcea, transported to get proper treatment in their oldies in our refuge.

2 moms with their pups from neighbor county Braila which would end up on the streets otherwise (one of the moms having limited sight which would make her a victim on Romanian streets, exposed to cars)

Kitten with her eyes coming out of their sockets due to severe infection who unfortunately, despite costly interventions and top medical attention received, lost her eyes.

These rescued animals and hundreds more living in our shelters in Romania have nobody else to care for them. By making a regular gift, you become their Global Parent/Guardian angel and will help us cover their ongoing needs. Sponsor a dog for a friend/family member or yourself for as little as 0.6 $/week (3$/month).

I care for you is a statement with deep meanings for us, animal lovers. A statement which will impact the future of rescued animals for their whole life.

Why #roldadogs and cats need you?

Your support can make the world of difference for:

  • Every year hundreds of people are calling us to give up their dog or cat in Romania;
  • ROLDA saved dogs from Ukraine, Bulgaria, Turkey especially from puppy mills where dogs are abused, excessively breed and their medical needs neglected;
  • We rely on sponsorships to look after hundreds of dogs (and some cats) in our care at any one time.
  • And… while some of our animals find a loving new home quickly, some others need our care, love and support for longer periods, even years, especially seniors like Cherry
Before
After

Tulum, for example, was a dog with little chance of being adopted, but who now lives in the UK with his owners, in his own house. Tulum was rescued from the streets of Smârdan village, Galați county, where he wandered limping, and sick. It was one of the few times we used the tranquilizer because the dog was reluctant, he didn’t let us come close but he urgently needed our help. After a visit to the vet, we discovered that Tulum was an old dog and that he had a very old and very severe fracture in one leg, which had welded so badly and caused him so much pain that amputating a part of his leg was, unfortunately, the only solution. Now, thanks to the efforts of the ROLDA rescue team and the donations of the ROLDA Global Parents network members, Tulum enjoys his new life.

For just 3$/month you can give a vulnerable animal the happy life they deserve and become the guardian angel of the next one we save from the street or one of our senior furry friends (dogs and cats) already in our care.

ROLDA never gives up on a rescued animal. We never euthanise, unless expertly advised by our highly experienced vet that it would be cruel to force an animal to live on in unbearable pain or disability. We pride ourselves on this philosophy. However, many animals we rescue are already in advanced years, abandoned by reluctant owners who can no longer afford to keep them. Unfortunately, many of the animals in our care will stay with us until the end of their natural lives. Many of our dogs simply aren’t psychologically or physically capable of travel.

The health and wellbeing of our dogs and cats will always remain our number one priority. However, those who stay with us will grow old with us and live in safety, comfort and with the affection and company of the ROLDA family; furry and human alike.

As a result, elderly dogs now comprise 60% of the total population in our care. Elderly dogs present us with additional challenges and special requirements to ensure their good health.

We recently opened a sanctuary for disabled and senior cats and these adorable additions to our family came with more special requirements for our small team.

Many senior animals have dietary requirements or require soft food as they are missing teeth. Furthermore, many need a special fortified diet to help manage chronic and painful illnesses, such as joint problems or arthritis. It’s not cheap to give to an old furry buddy the happy and healthy life he deserves!

FAQs

What is a ROLDA Global Parent?

Like most charities, ROLDA is lucky to have monthly donors – amazing people who’ve decided to donate every month. This type of gift is extremely gratefully received by ROLDA as it enables us to calculate next month’s budget more accurately and anticipate the funds we can rely on. This provides us with the security of the knowledge that our animals will not go hungry and we have money available for emergency expenses, such as a complex surgical procedure or specialized medicine.

How does a ROLDA Global Parent directly help our animals?

The majority of ROLDA expenditure is on the daily upkeep of our three sanctuaries which house hundreds of dogs and some cats. Our sanctuaries were built and are maintained to internationally recognized and EU standards, based on pioneering British shelter design. Our shelters are clean, safe and comfortable. Furthermore, they are operated by our wonderful staff and volunteers who work far beyond their pay and hours. ROLDA needs all the help it can possibly get to rescue more injured, neglected and abused animals that desperately need us and have no other hope of safety and love. Regular gifts, no matter how small, provide us with a reliable stream of income to allow us to stockpile funds for urgent rescue, veterinary bills and other unforeseeable emergency costs.

I am a Global Parent. Is my gift helping the animal I choose?

Absolutely. We fully respect each donor’s wishes regarding the purpose of informing their donation. However, should you choose to “Sponsor Them All”, your donation will go directly into the upkeep costs of all the dogs in our care, both present, and future.
To choose “Sponsor Them All” gift, please visit any dog profile, click on Sponsor me button (under photos) and next, click on Buy this gift.

How I can help a particular dog?

In order to help one of our dogs:
⇨ Visit our sponsor and adoption page
⇨ Click on Meet me button to open a dog’s profile
⇨ Click on Sponsor me (located under the dog photos)
⇨ Select your gift by clicking on Buy this gift
⇨ Thank you for making a gift to one of our rescued furry friends!

I want to help all the #ROLDdogs, can I sponsor them all?

Of course. For 29$ (or its equivalent in your currency) a person can choose to Sponsor Them All which means that all the animals in our care will benefit from your recurrent gift. These vital funds will go towards our general upkeep with every penny spent on direct animal care costs. This money will provide food, heating, security, medicine, clean drinking water, and a place to safely exercise, socialize and play. This is an extremely precious gift and everyone at ROLDA (human and canine!) is eternally grateful for this special act of generosity and compassion.

What do Global Pet Parents receive?

When you sponsor a dog with 3$/month, you will receive:
• A personalised photo-certificate with details of their new pal, which you can treasure forever.
• A magnet, so it can be reminded of their new four-legged friend.
• Updates with information about what they’ve been up to and how they’re getting on.
• And if you’d like to help even further by buying products from the online shop, that talk about ROLDA and our sweet dogs, as member of the Global pet parents club, you will receive a 20% discount so that you can enjoy products that help us and the dogs, and that bring you joy. The discount applies to the first order and is valid for one year from the date of issue.

Do I get updates regarding the dog(s) I choose to sponsor?

ROLDA cannot afford many paid staff members and those in our employment are engaged in active work both in the field – rescuing injured dogs and providing food and medicine for homeless animals – and directly caring for the dogs in our shelters. We know as an animal lover, you wouldn’t want this any other way. However, we try to keep you updated as often as we can and it is our pleasure to show our gratitude in a modest, symbolic way to thank the unique people who become Global Parents to our cherished canine companions.

What happens when my sponsored dog is adopted?

If during the sponsorship, "your" #roldadog is adopted or if, unfortunately, he/she passes away, you can choose another dog to benefit from your generous support. Please click here to find another dog to sponsor.
