Janet and her friend, Chrissy took a short trip to the Carpathian mountains to see the bears sanctuary in Brasov in the fall of 2007. While in Romania, Janet remembers, "I was immediately struck by the number of dogs roaming the cities, countryside and small villages... most of them living a miserable and uncertain existence."
The first dog she came close to - she named him Foxy - became the first member of
Janet's Romanian pack. Foxy was hardly surviving, skinny and full of ticks, scared and hungry. The two British woman called ROLDA to get help with transporting Foxy safely to the UK.
Once in the UK, Foxy suddenly transformed into a confident, nice-looking dog.
You wouldn't recognize him from how he was when he was found and rescued from the Brasov streets.
After visiting the ROLDA dog rescue centers, Janet and Chrissy became permanent helpers in fostering and rehoming dogs in the UK.
In less than two years, Janet became also the adoptive mom of no less than 6 Rommies. She treasures all of them. Every member of her pack was saved from the streets and sheltered at ROLDA, where good food and veterinary care was provided. We handled also the transport documents. These cost around 100 Euros per dog.
The cheapest transport to the UK by car is 150 GBP, paid by our UK partner.
Beside the veterinary costs, good quality food and the sterilization costs, ROLDA needs
metal foldable crates, plastic kennels for transport, and grooming supplies (brushes, clippers, blades, shampoos)
