Steps from streets to home
Hi, my name is Chick.
Find out what’s my life journey and how did the ROLDA team saved me and dogs like me.
The journey of a rescued dog from streets to a home
- ROLDA Rescue team saves the dog.
- Dog is transported to the veterinary clinic for a basic check and vaccination. If injured or in poor shape, dog is under treatment.
- Dog is placed in quarantine for 21 days from the last vaccine.
- Dog is sterilized and identified with microchip.
- Dog is moved from quarantine to kennel, which he shares with 4-5 other healthy dogs. Dogs are grouped depending on each dog tolerance with the others.
- The dog is tested how he reacts with other dogs, strangers, on leash, during feeding time.
- Some dogs need rehabilitation because they are over stressed, scared or not confident in people, trouble makers with other dogs.
- Dog is socialized and when needed, trained to accept leash.
- Photo session undertaken once the dog is ready to be adopted.
- The dog is advertised on website to find a home.
- Once selected by an adopter, the dog is tested (snap test) and undertakes a vet check, including dental examination.
- Dog has a cleaning and grooming session.
- ROLDA team prepares travel documents (including the TRACES document).
- Transportation option is selected. Arrival date and meeting point also agreed with the owner.
Dogs with behavior problems can’t be safely rehomed. Dogs behavior change constantly and is influenced by the pack.
Some dogs reveal a dominant character in the shelter, even if they came shy and obedient. Some other dogs come scared and problematic, with patience and love they transform into loving, safe pets. Some dogs change instantly because of a powerful noise (the noise of the bowl dropped on the floor, the noise of an ambulance on the road) because probably they remind of a previous trauma they suffered. With an insert background, dogs need constant surveillance and guidance to be adopted safely into loving, forever homes. The rate of failed adoption of ROLDA is under 2% from total number of adoptions.
So far, hundreds of #roldadogs have been adopted and are living in along with their adoptive families all over the world.
Here are just a few of them:
