ROMANIAN SHELTER (500 STRAYS) IN DANGER
While trying to raise funds to renovate the shelter kennels in Romania, two terrible things happened one after another:First, thieves stole some building supplies which now delays the rebuilding schedule, and very recently due to the delays of paying the last few months’ bills for dog food, we are running out of any possibilities to feed over 500 dogs from our shelters.
Please, Please can you help

❗ A word of caution: THE ABOVE LINK MIGHT BE FRAUD ❗
This is the official webpage of the ROLDA ➡ : http://www.rolda.org/
They have an official logo, and they are registered with the Romanian government as being an officially approved charity organisation for helping stray animals in Romania. They are in desperate need of your help, and will be happy to accept your PayPal donations.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HELP ANIMALS IN ROMANIA, PLEASE DONATE TO THIS LINK (THE OFFICIAL LINK) ➡ : http://www.rolda.org
The lnk mentioned above ( http://romaniaanimalaid.chipin.com/mypages/view/id/3cf09428ebab53e3 ) does not have the ROLDA logo, or registered charity license numbers. They use the letters “RLDA” and not “ROLDA”. There is also no email, no logo, no weblink, no contact address – essentially no proof that if you click on the above link and send money, that it will go anywhere except in someone else’s backpocket, who – for all we know – will go to the next McDonalds and buy themselves a juicy hamburger with the money you gave them.
❗ Please be careful when donating to charities ❗
A number of animal charity organisations (Tierschutzbund eV, TASSO eV, WWW, Greenpeace) have been issuing warnings NOT to donate money on the web via inofficial websites or private people collecting on behalf of charity organisations, because of the growing number of fraudulant people posing as FAKE charity activists.
Authentic charity organisations that help animals have official registration and a website with contact information. FAKE animal protectionist have look-alike organisation names & logos with little or no contact information, or details about their organisation. Don’t donate to private people collecting for animals (unless you personally know them). Your financial help might never reach the animals that need it. Donate to official animal help organisations that are registered with the community or government, and have a proven track record of actually helping animals. For the animals’ sake, don’t support fraud.
Weissdorn, Thank you for your concern, but I wish you did more of your homework before you begin to discredit rescues whom are only trying to do good. I only post those needing help from rescues I have worked with for up to three years now. Yes, there are many nonreputable imposters out thee, and I do advise everyone to do their homework before donating to ANY rescue. I personaaly usually go right to the source and cut the “middle man” out myself, I do believe it is a “trust no one” poicy when it does come to saving ouur animals for the fact their are MANY imposters who’s heart is in the wrong place. The links Weiss posted and the rescue I posted are DIFFERENT. The widget above is for shelter upgrades, if you want to use caution, I suggest donating to the SHELTER directly. Thank you!
Blessings
