Congratulations on choosing to adopt a companion animal! Around 250,000 healthy cats and dogs are euthanized in Australian shelters each year. By making the pledge “to adopt, not buy” you can give someone a second chance at life.
ROLDA Ltd. does not facilitate adoptions. However, you might want to contact one of the shelters or rescue groups listed on Pet Rescue https://www.petrescue.com.au/ website where you can find lists of animals available for adoption around Australia.

Can I adopt a dog from ROLDA Ltd.?
What should I do if I find a lost or injured animal?
If you find an injured wild animal, please call your local wildlife rescue organisation or vet. Some organisations will only operate phones during certain hours so, if the animal needs immediate help please take them to a vet or try contacting another group. Most vets will help wildlife at no cost.
How do I update my contact details?
To update your contact details, please email us at info@rolda.org.au or call us at 0468 070 277.
