Romanian stray dogs, please support if you can :)
Dear ROLDA' supporter !
The two local pounds in Galati are overcrowded, in the past month the dogcatchers transported more than a hundred animals in the second pound,where now over 700 dogs don't have a hope for tomorrow.
Our limited resources make impossible to help them, despite all the efforts done until now! Everything seems to fall apart, because lack of funds.
I thought help will come after the September newsleter...I applied for grants to different organizations and I thought funds will be approved but so far it doesn't go anywhere, except the fact I keep ask my mom and relatives for money to buy dog food, to pay the bills and the vet I am working with is kind enough to work for free from weeks now!
Because ROLDA does not receive any sort of institutional funding or government help, everything depends on the generosity of our kind-hearted individual donors.
Nothing is free here and peoples get used with the idea that ROLDA moves on by itself....we need funds to go on at the same level, we need to keep a standard that it's maintained with money,not with good
faith only!
I am aware that appeals for help are coming from all over the World everyday in animals activists mailbox! I am aware that there are many worthy organizations that deserve your assistance.
ROLDA works in Eastern Europe……we also receive appeals from all over Romania, animal lovers begging us to go and help them make shelters and support the local work they are doing!
ROLDA demonstrated the high standards to which shelters should aspire--but we can only show others what should be done to the extent that at least we are able to do it ourselves.
Now we need YOUR help! We have hopes, dreams, and bold plans
for going forward in Galati, Braila, and other communities, but
first we need to secure the progress we have made so far, with YOUR kind help.

Flash news about Romanian animals:
The Romanian President, Mr .Basescu – former Mayor of Bucharest in the period when the slaughter against homeless animals in Bucharest took place (2001-2002) received during his short visit in Germany the
"Konrad Adenauer medal " an award offered in recognition of Basescu'contribution to Bucharest's development and for turning Romania towards Europe, three animal rights activists yesterday staged a protest in front of the Koln City Hall, asking for President Traian Basescu not to receive the Konrad Adenauer medal because he "massacred" stray dogs when he was mayor of Bucharest.
Before the ceremony, the three women came to the city hall and said Basescu should not receive the medal because Adenauer had many animals and loved them. "You could not say that about Basescu, so he is not worthy of the medal," they said.
