Willie Nugent
"The shelter was very clean and of the highest standards.Everyone was most welcoming and devoted to the dogs.
I really admire the work Dana Costin is doing.
I was especially impressed by the lengths she takes to ensure the health and wellbeing of the dogs. I wish there were more people like her in the world today."
"The billboard is just one more measure in Dana's campaign to raise local awareness about the issue of stray dogs. Or rather,her attempt to get the locals on side.
Because with stray dogs dodging traffic on every street corner, sheltering under bushes, scavenging in rubbish dumps, hobbling through industrial sites and decaying in roadside gutters - it's not really an issue that lacks awareness.
What it clearly lacks is a solution. "

"My travel to Romania was good not only for the dogs waiting for our support, but also for myself. The picture I had carried of Romania as a grey spot on the European map, with sad people, was turned over a bit ! (...)! If Dana wasn't there, then who would..? They dogs of ROLDA are healthy both physically and physically - that you don't have to be a doctor to see - and ready to be adopted when cured from infections or injuries."
Katherine Walsh(USA) (February 2006)
"The situation I witnessed in Romania was heartbreaking(....)but the ROLDA shelter was like an oasis for the dogs. I was extremely impressed by how healthy and content they all were, even though they all had undoubtedly suffered in the past.(...)Dana and her local volunteers are doing wonderful things for dogs in Romania, and I encourage anyone who is interested to go and help them. There is so much important work to be done."
