● a strong foundation upon which we can redefine the day by day relationship between humans and animals;
A place to nurture the special bond between animals and people.
PawzUp Center is a project that has captured our minds and hearts for quite some time now. While ROLDA’s goal is to create a safer future for homeless and abused animals, we want to share this beautiful dream with you, hoping that, with your help and the aid of selfless people like you, we can make it come true.
Purpose
PawzUp Center:
● a bold dream to bring people and animals together, allowing them to help one another and enjoy each other’s company;
● therapy programs for different categories of vulnerable people;
● the perfect refuge for animals (since the ROLDA shelters are a few miles from the Ukrainian border).
Mission
Our mission is to create welcoming and unique cage-free living spaces for animals and people to build meaningful relationships, experience peace, enjoy one another, and learn more about the animals we share our world with while supporting local communities and encouraging others to interact with animals in a safe space.
Values
A project of PawzUp’s caliber would not mean the same, without its core values, which we wish to promote and nurture for years to come
Compassion
A caring environment for people and animals, where they don’t feel exploited but helping each other to reveal the best version of themselves
Inclusion
Encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to be a part of our animal-loving community, where we are all equal in our care and dedication to these beautiful souls.
Education
Promote the importance of being a well-informed and educated animal owner who understands how to care for living creatures and their needs. This information campaign will focus on educating children because they hold our futures. Additionally, we will extend our education efforts to anyone genuinely interested in learning about animal welfare.
Wellness
We believe PawzUp can become an impactful and significant place of refuge where the well-being of animals and humans always takes the front seat.
Sustainability
Besides donations and legacies, ROLDA will offer commercial and fundraising opportunities to provide income for this project, including naming our top sponsors. We also wish to promote the local companies and individuals who help bring our dream to fruition.
A word from our president
Ever since I’ve started rescuing suffering, abandoned animals 20 years ago, I’ve had the mindset that many Romanian people can’t afford this sort of activity. I’m talking about animal rescue, veterinary bills, supporting the construction of modern animal shelters, and so on. We thought that Romanian people had no money for charity, and thus we always appealed to our foreign supporters and later to our foreign branches to get the funds we desperately needed to survive.
We couldn’t have the audacity to call on our own people because we knew very well the hardships that come with living in Romania. When I started to seriously think about the PawzUp center and everything it requires (responsibility, time, logistics behind it) and I made a list of all the costs, I was afraid to add them up and see that total sum.
I knew it was slowly starting to slip into “dream” territory, a vision impossible to materialize into this world. I showed my mother that rough draft that contained both my estimations and my vision for the project and she compassionately declared, with tears in her eyes, that she would be the first one to make a donation. She told me that she will always support me, no matter what, and that I shouldn’t forget that I could “do anything I set my mind to.”
Moved by my mother’s conviction, I started to play with the numbers, trying to reduce the costs as much as possible and come up with a reasonable sum to present to all of you, my beloved supporters. All that’s left is to decide for yourselves whether I succeeded or not in my endeavor. What’s left to say now is that I am born and raised in Romania and I want to make this country a better place. Experience has taught me that animals have special powers to help us and heal our souls if we are willing to give them a chance.
