Dave Griffin is the first international volunteer coming to ROLDA this year. He also is the first one experienced the day-after-day work that ROLDA volunteers and staff is undertake because his “volunteer time” started early each day; he participated to catching stray dog activity ,dogs feeding at the big shelter, cleaning the kennels and running spaces at the small shelter. Dave was there to see and help with all ROLDA activities, even if the dog catching wasn’t enjoyable –but a necessity ;as we wanted to offer transparency and receive the good and negative comments from an impartial person; who can also speak further our needs, our problems and Romanian strays tragedy .
Dave is 51 old animal lover from Wales. He read an article about ROLDA from Dogs Monthly and decided to join our international volunteer program. Back in his country, Dave helps people giving up drugs and alcohol and volunteers his free time to a small local animal sanctuary.
While spending his holidays at ROLDA, he helped cleaning and socializing dogs, learning the ones which will be adopted in UK in two weeks to go on leash.
Special thanks to Dave for the precious, valuable time spent at ROLDA shelter as a volunteer, for useful items collected for us, for the donations received from him and his kind colleagues’, for gifts-in-kind received from Pets at Home!
