Help us build ROLDA’s new cage-free shelter 🐾
For 20 years, ROLDA has rescued and cared for animals with nowhere else to turn. Now, as we mark our 20th anniversary, we are transforming the shelter where it all began into something completely new.
This will be the first cage-free shelter facility in Romania, designed around what dogs actually need to heal, recover, and prepare for family life.
🐶 Cage-free pavilions with covered outdoor runs
🌿 A sensory garden built for enrichment and recovery
🏡 A volunteer and welcome house to reconnect people with rescue
☀️ Natural light, open space, and room for dogs to socialise and rest
After two decades of rescue work, every part of this shelter has been designed using what we have learned helping over 100,000 animals.
This is more than a building project. It is a new future for vulnerable dogs and a model for what animal welfare can look like in Romania, and we need your help to make it happen: https://t.co/O0G08LbbTO
Warning: this carousel contains unreasonable amounts of fluff…💖🐶
Right now, we have so many wonderful small dogs looking for homes, from playful younger pups ready for adventure to sweet seniors dreaming of a warm lap to curl up on.
Each one has their own personality, quirks, and story, but they all have one thing in common: they are looking for someone to love them completely.
If you’ve been thinking about adding a tiny best friend to your family, one of these little Pomeranians might just be your perfect match ❤️🩹
📍 Adoptions are available in the UK and Sweden. If you are not able to adopt, all of our dogs also welcome sponsors from all over the world 🌍
Take a look at all of our beautiful dogs waiting for their forever homes: https://t.co/Sp92ND5I0t 🐶

After spending years chained together, losing the only home they had ever known, and arriving at our shelter exhausted and overwhelmed, these sweet girls have finally received the update we were hoping for…
They are now together in foster care! 🥹
For the first time in a very long time, they are sleeping in soft beds, resting in a warm home, and learning what it feels like to truly relax ❤️🩹
Their foster family says they spend most of their time close to one another, enjoying quiet naps, affection, and all the love spoils they were missing for so many years.
Watching them slowly settle into comfort and safety has been incredibly emotional for our team. Senior dogs are so often overlooked, especially bonded pairs, which makes this second chance even more special.
Thank you for caring about these girls, sharing their story, and helping us continue supporting elderly dogs who have nowhere else to go. Their journey is not over yet, but their new chapter is already looking so much brighter. 🐶

Nessi should be someone’s lapdog.
Instead, she was found on the frontlines of war in Ukraine, fighting to survive.
She was brought to one of our ROLDA Heroes, Irina, by the military. In the middle of destruction, someone thankfully refused to leave her behind.
Once she was safe at the shelter, the reality of her condition became clear.
Poor Nessi is very ill. She is struggling with heart and lung problems, and her body is weakened by a severe inflammatory condition. Right now, every breath is an effort.
The team are doing everything they can to stabilise her, keep her comfortable, and give her a fighting chance ❤️🩹
There are so many dogs and other animals, just like Nessi, impacted by the ongoing conflict that desperately need our help.
Please help us support dogs like Nessi and continue saving lives in Ukraine: https://t.co/2HltSsSEUo 💛

A ROLDA Hero in Palestine found a mother cat who had sadly been hit by a car and killed.
Her three kittens were still beside her, trying to nurse 💔
The rescuer took them home, where his children gave their mother a proper burial and helped care for the kittens.
At first, they refused milk, but with time, warmth, and patience, they’ve started eating and are recovering really well.
They are now safe in foster care, where they can continue to grow and recover ♥️
This is why we support ROLDA Heroes. We know we cannot be everywhere, but by working with people on the ground, especially in conflict-affected areas, we are able to reach animals who would otherwise be left behind.
Thank you for helping us give them a second chance 🐾
Please help us support their ongoing recovery and help us reach others just like them: https://t.co/2HltSsTcJW

We can’t believe Olivia is still waiting for her home 🐾😔
At just 3 years old, Olivia is full of energy and ready to get out into the world with her person. She loves to explore, learn, and be part of whatever is going on, especially when there are treats involved.
She would make an amazing companion for someone who enjoys long walks, training, and keeping their dog engaged. Olivia is eager to learn and has so much potential to grow into a brilliant, well-rounded dog with the right guidance 🥹
She could live with another dog, but would do best in a home without cats, as she finds them a little too interesting. More than anything, Olivia is ready to meet her person and finally have a place to call her own.
If you have been looking for a fun, active dog to share your days with, Olivia might be the one you have been missing 💖
📍 Adoptions are available in the UK and Sweden. If you are not able to adopt, Olivia also welcomes sponsors from all over the world 🌍

Do you remember the puppies who were living in a cemetery? 💔
When they were first rescued, they were too frightened to let anyone near them. For days, they stayed hidden inside the little shelter they had been using for protection, watching the world from a distance and trying to understand where they were.
Now, their lives look completely different 🐾
Both puppies have been adopted by wonderful families and are finally getting to experience all the things they missed out on before: soft beds, peaceful naps, full bellies, and plenty of cuddles.
The same puppies who once hid from people are now learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and completely at home 🥹

“Being part of the ROLDA team for the past few years has given me the chance to experience many moments that made me truly proud, from rescuing animals and witnessing their journey to adoption, to receiving heartfelt messages of support from our donors. Knowing that people believe in what we do and stand by us so we can continue this mission constantly reminds me why our work truly matters.
Looking ahead, I hope the next 20 years will allow us to reach even more animals, inspire more people, and create a deeper, lasting impact.” - Anca, Executive Assistant to the CEO
This is what 20 years of ROLDA looks like, through the people who made it possible.
As we mark our 20th year in 2026, we are incredibly grateful to the people on the ground rescuing animals, the teams supporting them behind the scenes, and the supporters who make this work possible - here’s to another 20 years of impact and giving hope to animals who need it most ♥️🐾
Do you remember Lexa? ❤️🩹
When we first shared her story, Lexa had spent the first year of her life hidden away in a shed, surviving on scraps and completely isolated from the world. She had never experienced proper care, comfort, or even simple human affection.
When she was rescued, she was weak, covered in parasites, and terrified. Slowly, with patience and kindness from her foster family, Lexa began learning that people could be safe, gentle, and loving.
Today, we are so happy to share that Lexa has officially been adopted 💖🐶
Her foster family realised this sweet girl had already found her forever home with them. After everything Lexa has endured, living without freedom, light, safety, or love - she now has exactly what every dog deserves: a family who adore her!
Stories like Lexa’s are only possible because of your support. Thank you for helping us rescue dogs like her and giving them the chance to experience love for the very first time.
Wishing Lexa and her family a lifetime of happiness together 💛🐾

Tasha lost her life to a puppy mill 💔
When she was rescued, Tasha was severely underweight, weak, and suffering from tumours that required urgent surgery. After months of treatment, care, and recovery, she finally began gaining weight and experiencing the comfort and safety every dog deserves.
But nearly a year later, the disease returned, and in January, Tasha passed away.
For so many dogs trapped in puppy mills, rescue comes after years of neglect, exploitation, and damage that cannot always be undone. While we’re grateful she knew love and care in her last year, this beautiful girl deserved so much more.
🚨 We refuse to let this continue to be the reality for more dogs like Tasha.
That is why we continue fighting against puppy mills through rescue, awareness, advocacy, and urgent care for survivors who have nowhere else to go.
Please stand with us. Donate, sign our petition, share this post, and help more people understand the cruelty behind puppy mills. Every action matters, and every voice helps us push for change.
Help us change the future of dogs like her: https://t.co/KuEVZ0o1RE 🐾

Is a puppy worth their suffering? 😔
Behind many puppies sold online or through pet shops are dogs trapped in systems built entirely around profit. Forced breeding. Cages. Neglect. Mothers are used over and over again until their bodies can no longer cope.
Over the years, we have rescued dogs abandoned after years of breeding, stepped into breeding facilities to save survivors in urgent need, and provided care to animals who had never experienced kindness before.
But rescue is only one part of this fight.
Every donation helps us continue rescuing vulnerable dogs, funding urgent veterinary treatment, supporting rehabilitation, and pushing for stronger protections for animals trapped in these systems.
No dog should spend their life treated like a machine.

This little Casanova is searching for love 🐾❤️
Olle brings a happy, easy energy wherever he goes. He settles in quickly, loves being around people, and has a natural way of making himself part of the group.
He is always up for whatever the day brings, whether that is heading out on an adventure, playing with other dogs, or just being close to his people. Olle has a genuine joy about him that you feel straight away, and he loves being involved in everyday life 🥹
Olle would suit a home that wants a dog to truly be part of it all. He would love space to run and play, as well as a family who enjoys having a companion by their side through it all. He gets along well with other dogs and would happily join a home with a playful companion.
In return, you will have a kind, affectionate dog who brings warmth, fun, and a whole lot of love into your life.
📍 Adoptions are available in the UK and Sweden. If you are not able to adopt, Olle also welcomes sponsors from all over the world 🌍

Ada was found by one of our ROLDA Heroes after being hit by a car and left all alone… but just look at her now 🐾
That smile says everything 🥹
Beautiful Ada has found her forever family, and over the past few months, she has settled in so well.
She now loves adventures in the snow, playing with her human siblings, and most of all, cuddles.
We are so happy this sweet girl got the happy ending she always deserved! 💫

Can you imagine spending your whole life confined to a kennel, never knowing a gentle touch, a soft bed, or what it feels like to truly be safe? 💔
That was Boo’s reality.
When Boo was rescued from a puppy mill in September 2025, he was frightened, exhausted, and unsure of the world around him. For years, his life had been limited to surviving inside a cage, without comfort, safety, or love.
Now look at him 🐾
Just a few months later, Boo is living in his forever home, tail wagging, safe, and finally experiencing the life every dog deserves. Cosy naps, cuddles, warmth, and people who love him are now part of his everyday world.
But for so many dogs trapped in puppy mills, Boo’s “before” is still their reality.
Your support is what makes transformations like this possible. Every donation helps us rescue dogs from neglect and exploitation, provide urgent veterinary care, and give them the second chance they have always deserved.

In an ideal world, every dog and cat would have a safe home, regular meals, and a family to care for them.
For many animals in Ukraine right now, that is not the reality.
Across communities affected by the war, animals are still living on the streets or with families who are struggling to meet even their own basic needs.
This is where community rescuers, like Dmitry, step in.
As one of our ROLDA Heroes, she travels across these communities delivering food for stray animals and supporting local people so they can continue caring for their pets.
Sometimes this is what rescue looks like - showing up consistently, making sure animals are fed, and supporting the people doing everything they can to care for them.
We support ROLDA Heroes because we know we cannot be everywhere but with your help, we’re able to send life-saving resources to individuals and organisations and work with them to help animals in need ❤️🩹
When you donate to ROLDA, you’re not just supporting our shelter, you’re also helping us support rescue efforts in areas like Ukraine, Turkey, Bulgaria and Bethlemham: https://t.co/2HltSsTcJW 🐾

Looking for someone tall, dark and a little mysterious? 🐾❤️
Teddy might just be your guy! 🥹
This sweet boy is friendly with everyone he meets, with a subtle charm that draws you in. He may hold back for a moment at first, but his curiosity quickly takes over as he starts to explore and connect.
He is the kind of dog who is still figuring things out and just wants to belong. You will see it in the way he watches, learns, and slowly builds confidence with the people around him. With the right support, this boy will be the perfect adventure buddy!
Teddy would suit a calm, understanding home that can guide him and give him the space to grow at his own pace. He gets along well with other dogs and could happily live with a confident companion, but he would also do well as the only dog with someone who can focus on building that bond.
In return, you will have a loyal, curious companion who wants to be part of your world and discover it by your side.
📍 Adoptions are available in the UK and Sweden. If you are not able to adopt, Teddy also welcomes sponsors from all over the world 🌍

Can you imagine going from being a beloved pet to being stuck, alone, in pain, in a box on the side of the road? 💔
A ROLDA Hero from one of our partner cat sanctuaries was alerted to a cat in a feeding colony, too scared to move.
What they found was not a calm or timid cat, but a cat in pain. Charlie could not leave the box because his legs were broken.
He is believed to have fallen from a balcony and then been left behind, unable to move.
He was rushed for urgent veterinary care, where X-rays confirmed a fractured femur in his hind leg and severe damage to his front leg.
With the support we provide to our ROLDA Heroes, Charlie was transferred for specialist surgery.
We’re happy to share that his hind leg has healed well, and he is already running and jumping again like the kitten he is.
Unfortunately, his front leg has not recovered as well, and he is now facing amputation, as the damage is too severe and continuing like this would cause further injury and long-term complications.
Charlie is scheduled for surgery and for the rest of his life, he will be safe, well cared for and loved 🐱
This is the reality behind abandonment. Every day, animals are abandoned in places where people assume someone else will take care of them - because of your support, we are able to be the people that show up for animals like Charlie ❤️🩹

🚨 Sign our petition to help end puppy mills in Romania
Every year, over 2.6 million puppies are bred and born in illegal puppy mills. Many of them end up being abandoned.
For 20 years, ROLDA has rescued dogs from neglect, abandonment, abuse, and exploitation, including countless dogs forced to spend their lives breeding in puppy mills.
Behind many pet shop puppies and online puppy sales are dogs living in horrific conditions. Female dogs are repeatedly bred until their bodies can no longer cope, often suffering from untreated injuries, severe medical conditions, malnutrition, and extreme neglect. Once they are no longer profitable, many are abandoned or left to die.
Over the last two decades, we have seen firsthand the suffering these facilities cause, but we have also seen what happens when dogs are finally given safety, medical care, and the chance to experience love for the first time.
Now, we are asking you to stand with us.
By signing our petition, you are helping raise awareness, pressure authorities to strengthen animal welfare laws, and put an end to this unnecessary suffering to save millions of animals.
