ROLDA Rescue: Dog Adoption Application

ROLDA UK Dog Adoption Application
Thank you for applying to adopt one of our ROLDA dogs!

Applications are considered individually on their merits. Our aim is to ensure we place the right dog in the right home, therefore, please be reassured there are no right or wrong answers to give within the application. We are simply asking you these questions so we can evaluate the environment that you will be providing for one of our dogs.

The adoption fee is £400, which covers preparation of your dog for travel including neutering, vaccinations, blood tests, worm and flea treatment, chip, passport and a final healthcheck. The fee also includes transport of your dog from our shelter in Romania safely to your door.

Dogs travel to the UK via EuroTunnel with our trusted transporters, Hope4paws Pet Transport.

Adoption fees are payable by PayPal or Bank Transfer to ROLDA UK on successful completion of your homecheck.
Please answer all questions as fully as possible.
