ROLDA helps animals who need a second chance and people who care about themOur work is transparentefficient and measurable.

Australians are animal lovers with one of the highest pet ownership rates in the world. However, much needs to be done to improve our animal welfare standards. Especially around the most vulnerable members of the community which suffer near us, silently. At ROLDA we believe that all animals deserve respect, empathy and understanding, and should not be subjected to cruelty. We are strong believers in giving animals a second chance and helping people who love animals the best we can. We also have a sincere respect for our ancestors, which are the reason why we exist today and respecting the past will help us understand the present and shape our future.

ROLDA Ltd projects in Australia

Our projects in Australia are made around the core of our Global mission, using our experience and skills to serve the animals in danger and vulnerable members of the community who have pets. While numerous Australian charities already address succesfully the local problems, a pair of eyes (or more) and helpful hands from outside are always useful.

Support for people from disadvantage communities, including people fleeing domestic violence with pets

Purpose:
It protects animals from abandonment or harm by ensuring they can remain safe and connected to their owners during crises.

Support for First Nations communities with pets

Purpose:
It supports animal welfare in disadvantaged communities and prevents neglect and abandonment by providing culturally appropriate assistance to pets and their guardians.

What recommend us?

We grew ROLDA as a charity from zero (or under) and proof to be succesful, we didn’t had multi-milions at disposal handy to transform dreams in reality;
We never had no governmental support but growing slowly, we realized first hand about importance of each dollar received, each person convinced to be our donor;
We offer respect and transparency to donors, collaborators and partners and ask the same back;
We use wisely resources to maximize the impact to help as many animals as possible;

Our board members are all volunteers and the team are volunteers or minimally paid, extra hours are a bonus for the cause we all work hard for (often during weekends);
We never let an animal in need down, we never put a healthy animal to sleep and fight for each of them until the end;
We are not used with easy life, we face and solve problems and we are not afraid to work hard to succeed;
We became a strong voice for animals, recognized internationally and our goal is to continue investing in programs which will impact the next generations of animals and people even after we will no longer be.

We never give up and don’t make convenient compromises (e.g. we didn’t hesitated and sued the largest steel plant company when they put animals in danger, and we won, despite the pressure they put including on our lawyer – We currently fight in Court with the national roads company from Romania who notified us that the large shelter (house for hundreds of rescued dogs) need to be delomished to make room to a new road they plan to build)

Gift in Will

When donating or making a legacy for ROLDA, you can be sure that every penny is wisely used and accounted for, your values and dreams are safe with us and animals will benefit of your kind gesture now and in future.

Our numbers, achievements, history and milestones recommend us for getting the job done.

We also feel that a lot of Australians could benefit from our knowledge and years of experience rehoming rescues. Our advice is free, provided voluntarily, from experts who work with dogs every day either as trainers, dog behaviourists, carers, or rehoming consultants.

Note* In our shelters in Romania we have a strict no-kill policy, and do everything we can to reach as many animals as possible and also rehome them in forever homes. We have developed a strong network of adopters across Europe as well as expertise in rehoming and training rescue dogs. For legal and logistics reasons, we can’t rehome our dogs as far as Australia but we can help animals in Australia. Unfortunately, with many shelters being full all over Europe, adoptions are slow and animals spend longer time in our care. Plus, some animals are not suitable to be adopted (because of the size, medical condition, behavior issues etc) which means they will stay even longer or permanently with us. When you sponsor a rescued dog from ROLDA, you enable us to cover the day-by-day costs and make sure all our furry friends have great conditions, as they deserve.
