The Five Freedoms

ROLDA Ltd believes that the welfare of an animal includes its physical and mental state, and that good animal welfare implies both fitness and a sense of well-being. ROLDA believes that the Five Freedoms created by the UK Farm Animal Welfare Council provide a base from which to consider the welfare of an animal;

1.

Freedom from Hunger and Thirst: By ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour.

2.

Freedom from Discomfort: By providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.

3.

Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease: By providing appropriate preventative measures, along with rapid diagnosis and treatment.

4.

Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour: By providing for species specific requirements with respect to space, enrichment and social needs.

5.

Freedom from Fear and Distress: By ensuring species specific conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.

Our Principles

Trustworthy and Transparent

ROLDA is recognized as a trustworthy and transparent leader in international animal rescue. We hold Platinum level on GuideStar/Candid and 4* on Charity Navigator.

ROLDA’s name inspires confidence, backed by open communication about where donations go, regular updates on rescue efforts, and tangible proof of our impact. We publish photos and videos showing the impact, testimonials from people we help, financial reports.

Mission and Impact-Focused

ROLDA is committed to its mission of giving hope to every animal, no matter how challenging the case is.

Whether it’s a street dog in Romania, an abandoned pet in Ukraine, or a senior animal needing special care, ROLDA never turns away from a rescue. This unwavering dedication demonstrates that we are not just here to help—we’re here to make a lasting impact.

Compassionate and Human-Centered

ROLDA’s work is more than just numbers or donations; it’s about compassion in action. ROLDA team never complains, we are in action, on the frontlines, taking on the toughest cases, and creating meaningful change for animals and people who care about them.

Positive, Hopeful and Solution-Oriented

ROLDA doesn’t shy away from showing the raw and real situations animals face, but we always focus on the solution. Our messaging emphasizes that no situation is ever so bad that we can’t show up and make a difference. Through our work, we inspire hope, not just for the animals we rescue but for the supporters who believe in making the world a better place.
