Kola Kariola’s mission is to help stray animals in Romania. Lack of education and the total indifference of the authorities make Romania a place where animals are left astray, abused, injured or tortured.
In April 2014, the association began building a shelter in Fundulea, where, before moving in June 2015, approximately 400 dogs were cared for: dogs rescued from public shelters from death by euthanasia, dogs rescued from the street, dogs that have been abandoned, injured, or abused.
The association serves the community by taking over abandoned animals, providing them with a roof, food, treatments and preparing them for adoption and reintegration into a family. So far, the association has found new homes for over 400 animals.
