Help us build PawzUp first cage-free shelter

Thanks to our supporters' generosity has allowed us to raise $21 in one campaign and $1,351 in another, for a grand total of $1,372.

Although every donation makes a big difference, we still have a long way to go, and we are grateful for each donation. We aim to raise $1,000,000 to finish this project and furnish the animals with proper facilities.

What This Project Aims to Achieve

A dedicated cattery, where the warm sunlight streamed through the windows, highlighted rows of cosy cat beds.

We're creating a cattery just for our cats, a space where they can feel safe and at peace. It also means our dogs can socialise and play more freely, with the scent of the forest filling their noses, relaxing them and creating a better environment.

Helping donkeys as well 

To save and care for donkeys in need, we are also establishing a sanctuary. Health issues, trauma, and neglectful situations are just some burdens many carry upon arrival. The resources would allow us to provide them with complete veterinary care, specific handling, and a lifelong secure and loving home.

How you can help us

Every contribution, no matter the size, takes us one step closer to finishing this project. If you’re able to donate or share our campaign, you’ll be directly helping us:

Complete the cattery

Finish and equip the donkey sanctuary

Rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome more animals in need

Please consider supporting us today and help us turn this vision into reality.

ROLDA PawzUp: The Unwritten Story

In February 2023 we celebrate 17 years of tumultous existence as charity in Romania.
For most of these years, I wrote myself the dog stories and put passion in every word: rescue, bad or happy ending.
Even if you read them all, that would be a tiny fraction because so many little special moments of day by day rescue get lost quickly.
I believe the ambition, the passion for dogs and the dream of giving these special animals the best kept my andurance going.
I dream of them living better, in heated kennels, spoiled which contrast with the reality and that's the best fuel when things don't go as expected.
In a country like Romania, many things go not as expected.
With so many dog stories for me to write, I realized that ultimately, I dream that one day, someone else to tell the unwritten ROLDA story and that to be a succesful one.
From where I come, dreaming is a trick to escape reality. Everyone is free to dream and dreams are free, but really special ones become reality and that comes with a price and lot of work.
Dogs dream too and they escape the reality. I watch them sleeping, with "paws up" in the air, moving them like running and I felt guilty for not offering them more running spaces to help them feel free. But at least I (and now you) know from where PawzUp name comes from. We all need to hold on something and keep dreaming because that makes our life magical.
I will feel truly completed if whomever will write ROLDA story will highlight the PawzUp success transforming conventional shelter into a center where dogs not feel trapped, prisoners but feel home. If PawzUp dogs residents smile, it is the success that worth every moment of my life spent to make it happen.
Have you seen a dog smiling? There is no way you can fake that. If they do smile, they do it from their heart and with all their heart.
PawzUp dog shelter has a simple purpose: to make dogs smile.
And that's the unwritten story that I challenge myself to create.
