We rescue animals that are abused, abandoned or injured. Our goal is to find permanent, loving homes for as many of our rescued dogs as possible.Humane education activities, sterilization programs and finding long term solutions to the problem of animal overpopulation are another important component of what we do. We are working on programs to provide companion and therapy dogs for senior citizens.We are proud that our shelters have consistently been recognized as some of the best in the country. We seek to increase public awareness, in Romania and around the world, as to the plight of animal suffering in our communities. We actively encourage anyone from anywhere, to join us as a volunteer at our center in Galati.ROLDA is officially registered as a Romanian charitable organization #18416340, file #1/08.02.2006 at the Galati Court of Justice.

During this time, we reached numerous important targets, but above all, we successfully managed to form a team of local and international activists, to save each dog in need of our assistance, to change homeless dogs’ future and to give hope to one of the poorest communities from Romania which could, thanks to our efforts, access professional veterinary care and emergency food for their pets.Targets reached:Two modern dogs sanctuaries built from ground;Social veterinary clinic built (still needs equipment);7000 dogs and cats sterilized;8000 dogs helped (with emergency treatments, food, sheltering, rehabilitation);Poor community’s farm animals e.g. horses helped with emergency vet costs;Social sterilization programs for poor community’s pets;Education campaigns in village’ schools;Campaign addressed to seniors animal lovers;Start- up private organic garden (medicinal plants, trees, vegetables, grass for donkey rescued);Created natural wind barrier (planted over 8000 acacias)-19055174615Awareness international campaigns35032955977890photo left- Running spaces for dogs; photo right –Adoption roomROLDA Activity InternationallyROLDA AUSTRALIA became incorporated charity on 1st December 2014, registration number ABN 38420396060.

ROLDA Holland successfully rehomed approx 200 dogs in the past years but since 2013, our activity in Holland stopped, lack of trustworthy volunteers.

From the total of 369000 EUR, the percentage of 83% comes from the Romanian contracts and the individual gifts made online or via bank transfer, directly in Romania while the remained 17% represent donations received from our branches from Sweden, Switzerland, Norway and USA. This graphic show the distribution of donations received, during 2015 from USA, Sweden, Switzerland and Norway. While we can observe an increase of international donations, if we compare 2014 and 2015, we also notice that in December 2014, ROLDA had an income with 42% more than at the end of 2015, mainly caused by the local Romanian partner who abusively terminated the contract and broke the agreement obligations. As a result, we were forced to sue the former partner and all these represent additional costs for us (legal fees, lawyer expenses). Note: The expenses are divided in direct costs and indirect costs.Direct costs include: food and supplements, veterinary costs, transport, salaries, repairs and building costs, investments, postage and all other dogs related costs.Indirect costs include: marketing payments, promotional supplies, as well as the total extra costs made by foreign branches volunteers reported to the total budget. Comparison Budgets from 2010 to 2015Source: Ministry of Finances (mfinante.ro)All the financial reports on Ministry of Finance Romania are in RON (Romanian money) and we converted all the amounts into EUR, considering the rate 1EUR = 4.5 RONIn the past 5 years, the budget range 300000 -400000 EUR (exception makes the budget from 2014 which also include some investments finished and reported).

Most of the costs go to: food (which includes dry food (protein min 24), diet food for puppies and seniors), veterinary costs (vaccination, sterilization or other one time surgeries and post surgery treatments, therapy care, long term treatments as well as monthly anti-flea and worm treatments), but also for disinfection of shelter, crates, vans and also fuel for rescue vans and their maintenance, salaries for paid staff and for external services like bookkeeping, lawyer, other paid services, taxes to Government. A major cost represents the monthly payment for Security Company which guards the shelter premises 24h/day for safety of dogs and guarding the assets. Since November 2015, the local major sponsor reduced the payments with 20% and after February 2016, with another 20%. The legal actions against the steel company which abandoned 200 dogs, breaking the collaboration contract and leaving ROLDA to handle all the incurred costs represents also important additional costs for us. (lawyer fees, taxes for Court)For the Large shelter, the short term objectives are postponed and depend on the outcome of the two trials started against the former partner, the local steel company. Short term objectives for Large Shelter:Building the remained 4 running spaces 24000 EURRepair the metallic container for staff, repairs postponed because dogs represent always a top priority, but also wellbeing of people working for these dogs is a necessity, last controls from the Veterinary Authority demanded us specifically to fix this matter 10000 EURRepair the roof of the paddocks (3 of them are an emergency) 3000 EUR/roofMinor repairs at the veterinary clinic 5000 EURAdd solar panels for electricity and hot water to reduce the electric bill (to be estimated)Add solar surveillance system, totally independent from conventional electricity as an alternative to cut the costs which currently go to the security company. (initial costs 10000 EUR)Create a shelter for donkeys and warehouseBuy the additional 1ha of land in vicinity of the shelter 5000 EURContinue the organic garden project, initiated in spring 2016 (tools, etc) 1000 EURBuy partially veterinary equipment for the clinic (to be estimated)New outdoor items for dogs’ exercise 5000 EURFinding a permanent solution to replace the sewage machine, abusively cut by the steel company. We need 3-4 sewage machines/week and this is an important cost for our current budget (to be estimated)The small Shelter: Nominated three times consecutively the best shelter in Romania and one of the best from East Europe, it is located in the village of Smardan and house max 70 dogs. The costs include food for dogs, veterinary related (sterilization, monthly anti-flea and parasites control, vaccination, other surgeries and long treatments) and staff salaries as well as bills like electricity, phone and consumables. Short term goals for Small Shelter:Creating a sanctuary for senior cats 20000 EURRepair the cottage: Divide the cottage in working area (grooming, isolation, small kitchen) and volunteers cottage 50000 EURBuy additional land in vicinity of the small shelter 25000 EURRepair the small paddock 15000 EURAdd solar surveillance system 5000 EURAdd solar panels for hot water and electricity (to be estimated)ROLDA FOUNDATIONLong term ProjectsSterilization Program for poor community’s pets 5000 EUREducation Program (to be estimated)Wild Habitat Project: welcomes supporters who wish to become co-owners of land (various sizes) donated to conserve wildlife species, forest or be used for dogs’ rehabilitation.
