Our dog Oache arrived to his new familly in UK!
Oache ,one of our rescued dogs was available for adoption starting March month, his lovely picture and description was advertised in our latest newsletter.
Extremely lucky ,within few days ,he was already virtually adopted by Gill ,one of our longtime supporters from UK.
Gill sent us a lot of information's about dogs she already had, some coming from abroad.
She sent us good pictures describing the new environment where Oache will grow from now on(the house, park where he will run and play,...).
(photo:Archie(in the leash),the Romanian stray and his new brothers,rescued by our wonderful Gill from Thailand shelter.)
Gill thought about everything, she even start dreaming during nights how our Oache will play with her others dogs ....she even came up with a new name for our furry boy: Archie ,easier to be pronounced in English and socialized .
Thanks to her big heart ,her open minded judgment helped offer a chance to a homeless in countries where the true animal lovers support is greatly needed!
Thank you, Gill - for making a difference for ROLDA dogs!

Being impressed by what it is built so far,they assured us of full support in the future to finalize this huge project, which seemed just a "too good to be true" dream .
Azorica adopted in Holland !
Azorica is one of the dogs listed on our "Adopt a stray!" website section, sheltered at ROLDA from few months and looking for a good, loving family to offer her a new chance!
She is extremely friendly with people,other dogs and cats,3 years old and very sweet;spayed and with all veterinary papers in order.
Sending her in Holland wasn't an easy thing to arrange ...
There was a Dutch family willing to adopt our beauty ,but the costs to use airline services from Bucharest to Amsterdam were very high,so we almost loose hope regarding her adoption...when the miracle happened: one (half Dutch and half Romanian) family visiting shortly Galati and seeing ROLDA shelter ;hearing the story of Azorica -decided to change the bad luck that our furry baby had so far and offered to take her in their family SUV for FREE to their home in Rotterdam.
There, our Dutch Representatives, Patrick & Tineke transported her further to her new adoptive mom in Amsterdam.
The good news don't stop here: impressed by the good conditions that ROLDA shelter offers to abandoned animals ,the young Dutch couple decided to promote our worthy cause back home through their own veterinary clinic from Rotterdam !
(photo: Azorica discovered the piece of Heaven that every homeless animals should enjoi of,if we would be more sensitive and careful)
It is said that everything happen for a reason in our lives and for sure, Azorica 'destiny was to find eventually the loving familly she dreamed for all her life !
Special thanks goes to Johan and Carmen...we couldn't make Azorica 'dream come true without YOU !
