GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Would you like to visit ROMANIA? Why not holiday and help dogs, too?

The ROLDA rescue centers are located in Galati, in the south-east region of the country.
Galati is an industrial port of Danube river. Not many local scenic attractions exist, besides the ROLDA doggies, but the ROLDA doggies are known for helping visitors to discover some of our unique and wonderful ghosts--even some historic vampires!

While you may not actually "see" these supernatural and etherial beings, our doggies will sniff them out and alert you to their presence--just borrow a doggie for an evening walk and notice how the doggie becomes alert at times to things of which you have no awareness. Our doggies will also protect you from any evil spirits. It is well-known that demons and vampires can do no harm to anyone who is escorted by a happy dog.

ROLDA INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS PROGRAM DETAILS

Operating on a small budget, ROLDA always needs volunteers. Can you help?

Volunteers from all over the world can have accommodation during their holiday at the ROLDA cottage in exchange for helping to socialize dogs.

This may include walking dogs, brushing dogs, cleaning the kennels, beds and bowls, and cleaning the running/exercises area). We also welcome people who can make small repairs to the kennels and help with other shelter related activities.

The ROLDA Adoption Center was top-rated among 17 Eastern European animal shelters in both 2004 and 2009.

The facility is built following a British model. In addition to the dog kennels and the cat housing, now under construction, there is a cottage with two small bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom to be used by international volunteers who are part of our program.

Please let us know what are your skills and experience and we can go from there.
Romania is not a very popular destinations, does not have very good infrastructure, and does not have very good roads, but it is unique and worth experiencing.
