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

ROLDA work started in Romania to efficiently solve the appalling problem of the country’s millions of homeless animals. Our keys focuses are rescue, rehabilitation and sheltering dogs and cats in our private shelters, rehoming dogs in the UK and other European countries. We also offer practical to low-income pet owners e.g. FriendsForever addressed to seniors with pets. As part of the education campaign, we distribute coloring books in schools, to teach kids to understand animal needs and respect them. ROLDA campaigns nationally for animal rights and provides humanitarian aid during disasters like the war in Ukraine, floods in Bulgaria. ROLDA UK is a small charity acting as “supporting organization” for the partner charity ROLDA Romania, the “global entity” to:
• raise awareness and financial support for ROLDA Romania for animals in need and for the poor Romanian communities struggling to look after their pets responsibly;
• find homes for rescue dogs by ROLDA Romania team, alongside compiling applications for grants to sustain our work;
• support other programs and campaigns initiated by ROLDA Romania, including providing Worldwide aid to animals and their people located in areas affected by natural of humane made disasters e.g. the war in Ukraine;
• build a network of fosters careers in order to bring dogs over for people to meet before they make a decision and also as a back-up for any unsuccessful adoptions.

🚨 URGENT: Moons needs a home! 🚨

We are absolutely heartbroken for Moons. He was meant to move to his new home tomorrow and they've just pulled out due to personal circumstances so this boy needs an urgent home! He is in Dorset, UK but can travel.

After spending one week in his adopters home, Moon’s new family decided he wasn’t for them. He is now in emergency foster and we thought we’d found him a new home, but unfortunately, through absolutely no fault of his own, the couple who had guaranteed him a home have now pulled out at the very last possible minute.

His time in emergency foster care is running out, and we have to find him a home to prevent him from having to return to Romania. ❤️

He is an enthusiastic, friendly boy with so much love to give. He adores his toys, loves his walks and is the wiggliest boy when meeting new people! We know he has the potential to make an incredible adventure companion for the right family.

Moons is 5 years old and spent the first five years of his life in a concrete kennel and had absolutely no concept of what a home was. He’s done so well settling into his foster home and we’re desperate not to take those luxuries away from him.

🏡 The home Moons needs:

🐾 Someone confident handling larger dogs, as Moons weighs 32kg.

🐾 A home with a garden or access to regular, consistent walks.

🐾 An adult-only household.

🐾 He could live with another calm, neutral dog. No cats.

🐾 A family committed to working with ROLDA and a Clinical Animal Behaviourist, including exploring medication if recommended.

Moons is neutered and has tested negative for brucella, leishmania, heartworm, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis and Lyme disease.

Moons has already been through so much, and we cannot bear the thought of him returning to a shelter just as he is beginning to discover what life in a loving home can be.

If you could offer Moons the right home, or would like more information, please message us directly or email [email protected].

🚨 Winter is coming, and we want to get Little Haven as far along as possible before the harsh Romanian weather sets in. Can you help us finish building Romania’s first cage-free shelter?

Earlier this year, we broke ground on a project we have dreamed about for years: transforming one of our existing shelters into Romania’s first cage-free rescue centre.

Since then, the foundations have been completed, construction has moved forward and now the walls are going up. 🥹

Little Haven has been designed to give rescued dogs more space, comfort and enrichment, while creating an environment that helps prepare them for the biggest next step of all: life with a family of their own.

We’re incredibly proud of how far it has come, but there is still so much work ahead.

As winter approaches, we want to put as many resources as possible behind construction and make the most of the time we have before the weather makes building more difficult.

Could you help us keep building Little Haven? Donate today and create a better future for generations of rescued dogs: https://rolda.org/donate/ ❤️

It's hard to believe there was such a tiny little dog underneath all that fur. 🥺

When one of our ROLDA Heroes in Romania rescued this sweet boy, his coat was so severely matted that she initially thought he had lost an eye.

As she carefully began trimming away the tangled fur, she discovered just how small he really was.

Despite everything he'd been through, he was incredibly gentle and affectionate.

We're so happy to share that this little boy has now been adopted and is beginning a wonderful new chapter with his very own family! ❤️

Because of your support, we're able to support independent animal rescuers working on the ground in Romania and beyond, helping them continue their incredible work and reach more vulnerable animals in their communities.

To everyone who supports ROLDA and our network of ROLDA Heroes, thank you for helping make happy endings like this possible. 🐾

Happy Halloween 🎃🐾

We might be biased, but how cute do some of our adopted dogs look dressed up for spooky season? 👻

If your pet is dressing up too, share a photo with us in the comments! Just remember to make sure costumes are comfortable, don’t restrict movement or breathing, and that any Halloween treats are safely out of reach. For our pets at home, Halloween might bring a few unfamiliar noises, strange costumes and unexpected visitors, but we’re there to make sure they feel safe.

It’s something we wish every animal could experience.

Seeing rescue dogs safe, loved and included in moments like these is exactly the kind of happy ending we want for every animal in our care.

If these photos have you wishing you had a furry friend to spend the spooky season with, there are plenty of ways to get involved. You can adopt, foster or sponsor a ROLDA dog and become part of their story. ❤️

At just 4kg, Ninni may be tiny, but there is a whole lot of love packed into that fluffy little body. ❤️

Ninni is eight years old and an incredibly sweet, social girl who loves being close to people. She enjoys cuddles, happily seeks out attention and would love a home where she can be included in everyday life.

She was rescued from the streets and is now ready for the comfort and security of a family of her own. She can live with other dogs and would thrive with a consistent routine where she can settle in at her own pace. Nothing would make her happier than having a lap of her own to curl up in 🥹

Ninni is still learning to walk on a lead, but she does not need an experienced owner, making her a lovely companion for someone ready to give a rescue dog the love and patience she deserves.

Ninni is available for adoption in the UK and Sweden.

Learn more about Ninni: https://sponsoradog.rolda.org/dog/ninni/ 🐾

You can also sponsor Ninni from anywhere in the world while she waits for her forever home.

Ukrainian soldiers found Bohun near the frontline, sick, exhausted and desperately needing help. ❤️‍🩹

They brought the tiny shepherd puppy to our ROLDA Hero, Irina, who could immediately see how much he was suffering.

His skin was covered in painful sores, large patches of fur were missing, and the constant itching meant he was scratching his already damaged skin. Sometimes, the pain became so much that he would cry.

We named him Bohun after a legendary Cossack colonel, and now our little fighter has started the long process of getting better.

His recovery will take weeks and requires specialist medication, medicated shampoos, skin care and good-quality food to help his body recover.

Bohun has already had people choose not to leave him behind. First the soldiers who found him, and now Irina and the people helping fund his care.

Could you help give this little boy the chance to grow up healthy and loved? https://rolda.org/donate/ ❤️

If you’re looking for a dog who absolutely loves his people, Jder might be your boy. ❤️

Rescued from the streets, Jder is a friendly and affectionate six-year-old who loves spending time with people. He has a gentle, sweet nature and is happiest when he can enjoy plenty of human company.

Jder walks well on a lead and has a moderate energy level, so he would love a family to share his walks and everyday adventures with.

Although Jder gets along well with other dogs, he is looking for a home where he can be the only dog and enjoy having his family to himself - something he deserves after all he’s been through.

Jder is available for adoption in the UK and Sweden.

Learn more about Jder: https://sponsoradog.rolda.org/dog/jder/ 🐾

You can also sponsor Jder from anywhere in the world while he waits for his forever home.

This month, our Pet of the Month is a little rescue dog who has been making a very big impression: Rosa! 🐾

Rosa didn’t have the easiest start in life, but since finding her forever family in the UK, she has shown everyone just how incredible rescue dogs can be.

She is loving, intelligent, adventurous and apparently rather award-winning too! Earlier this year, Rosa entered her local dog fete and came home with Best Rescue Dog AND Best in Show. 🥹🏆

Her past has never stopped her from embracing everything her new life has to offer, and seeing her so loved, confident and thriving is exactly what we hope for every dog who comes into ROLDA’s care.

Rosa’s story is also a beautiful reminder of what can happen when someone chooses to give a rescue dog their chance. ❤️‍🩹

Could your rescue pet be our next Pet of the Month? https://rolda.org/petpal-gallery/ ✨

Entries are open worldwide, and the winner will be featured on our website and social media and receive their very own ROLDA bandana.

Mark’s previous owner left him at a veterinary clinic and never came back ❤️‍🩹

He was unfortunately abandoned by his family simply for being a dog and occasionally barking at birds, a behaviour that could have so easily been addressed.

Mark didn’t understand why the person he trusted disappeared, but despite being left behind, he remains a sweet and loyal boy who loves being close to people. He can be slightly hesitant when meeting someone new, but quickly settles and forms strong bonds once he feels comfortable.

At almost six years old, Mark is ready for the second chance he deserves. He enjoys his walks, gets along well with other dogs and could happily share his home with a canine companion.

Mark is around 23kg and is available for adoption in the UK and Sweden.

Learn more about Mark: https://sponsoradog.rolda.org/dog/mark/

You can also sponsor Mark from anywhere in the world while he waits for someone to choose him.
