DVM SARAH HUGHES VOLUNTEERS TO ROLDA IN 2009

Having recently qualified as a vet, and after the stress of final exams, I was looking to take a break and have a change of scene. But I also wanted to put my newly gained qualification to good use.

     I support Romanian Strays and have become a   celebrity spokesperson for ROLDA. Animals suffer there and die on the streets and authorities turn a blind eye.

Won't you join me in support of such a needed organization in Romania?

Having been an animal rescue volunteer for years, I have always been curious what people in other parts of the world do for animals. One day, I stumbled across ROLDA's website and was intrigued by the shelter's story and efforts. Because this world is so big with problems, especially involving animal plights, are often bigger than us, I live by the saying, 'Think global. Act local.'
