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. Veterinary volunteer work offered a cheap way of getting away and experiencing another country whilst also being relevant to my degree.

     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. ROLDA is working hard to save lives and change laws to protect animals in this beautiful country.I don't see borders when it comes to saving lives. Won't you join me in support of such a needed organization in Romania?

" Animal welfare is a huge problem worldwide, but nowhere more so than in Romania. Dana is a young woman who has dedicated her life to these animals. She is a lone voice in the wilderness. Please help ! "

" In the summer of 2004, my boyfriend and I went on a great adventure that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We decided to visit the ROLDA dog shelter in the very eastern part of 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.'

"The situation I witnessed in Romania was heartbreaking--I saw countless dogs who had been run over and left lying in the roads, and there were many others who just wandered through the city, looking thin and malnourished. They had no place warm to sleep and ate garbage to survive. Some of them had been injured and were hobbling around as best they could, trying to avoid the cars.

" I could not bring myself to walk through the kennels and look at those beautiful faces again. My lovely Cora with her paralyzed legs, Merlin who had been paralyzed like Cora but miraculously gained the use of his legs, my darling blind Hope, Betty and her puppies, Mica, Bobitza, Cipi, Shep, all of them. The tears started to flow at the thought of their future but worse the future of all the others not fortunate to be in a lovely place like ROLDA."
