About ROLDA
UK
ROLDA (Romanian League in
Defence of Animals) is an animal welfare charity working to improve the lives
of dogs, cats and other animals in Romania and internationally. Since its
establishment in 2006, ROLDA has become a beacon of hope for the millions of
vulnerable stray animals in Romania – one of Europe’s economically poorest
nations.
Our mission is to manage the
homeless animal population, estimated to be millions, through six key focuses:
–
rescue
–
rehabilitation
–
sheltering
–
sterilisation
–
rehoming
–
education
Within our shelters, inspired
by British kennel design and maintained to meet EU animal welfare standards, we
can house up to 700 animals at a time. Here, they receive full veterinary care,
rehabilitation, and preparation for rehoming.
Since 2006, we have helped over
80,000 animals (mostly dogs and cats), built 2 shelters for dogs and 1 shelter
for disabled and senior cats. We also distribute constant support, mostly in
terms of small, repeated grants, to 6 other small charities in Romania and over
40 rescuers in Ukraine. We are rehoming mostly in Switzerland, Sweden and the
UK.
In addition to our efforts in
rescuing and rehoming animals, ROLDA tackles Romania’s homeless animal crisis
at its roots through comprehensive neutering programs and educational
initiatives.
ROLDA is an equal opportunity
employer. We encourage applications from
candidates of all backgrounds and experiences.
