The Large Shelter Con
Dana Costin projects the image when fundraising that she/Rolda is financially responsible for 500+ dogs.At other times when it suits her agenda she will openly state that the large shelter is solely funded by Arcelor Mittal.The actual truth is that Arcelor Mittal (one of the most successful steel companies in the world and the largest employer in Galati) pays for everything for the “ROLDA Second Shelter” aka “ROLDA Large Shelter”. ALL the dog Food, ALL veterinary care including neuter and spay, ALL building works, ALL employees salaries, ALL the costs to purchase a van and it’s gasoline, etc, 
EVERYTHING!! Dana Costin manages the shelter. Whether she receives a salary or not is unclear as on a continual basis she changes her statements from being an “employee” to “volunteer” and back again.
The reality is that Dana as the founder of Rolda is financially responsible for the dogs at her small Rolda shelter a few miles down the road from the larger shelter. At this Rolda shelter (the one that doubles as her private pension/boarding kennels for pay) there is a maximum capacity for 60 dogs, for the most part and dogs that arrive at this Rolda shelter are usually taken from 
the large Arcelor Mittal funded shelter, having had all their veterinary treatment beforehand paid for by Mittal. Leaving absolutely nothing for Rolda to pay for barring one caretaker at the small Rolda shelter who would be paid an average Romanian wage of not more than $300 a month.
Dana does not even buy food for the dogs at the Rolda shelter as she takes what food is needed for the Rolda shelter from the food supplies at the larger Mitall shelter. (see Chrissy Phillips Testimonial)
Dana Costin stated 2011 – ” I am NOT Mittal employee I am volunteer for Foundation. I take no salary from working with and for dogs!Mittal sponsored the large shelter facility (building), as well as the daily costs like food, salaries for workers, vet treatments and sterilizations.Mittal doesn’t sponsor the Adoption Center, this is kept “alive” and in function from donations coming from private supporters”

ROLDA Holland website is clearly still trying to give people the false impression that ROLDA cares for over 600 dogs and cats. (please click on the image)

Anja wrote to ArcelorMittal, the company that owns the shelter, the concerns that we all have about the situation for the dogs at the ArcelorMittal shelter that is managed by ROLDA. They replied that changes will be implemented.What changes we do not know as of yet, but this is at least a good step in the right directions. Thanks to this expose’, the situation is being reviewed and we will stay on top of it. We are hoping that ArcelorMittal will allow monitors from Galati to go to the shelter to make sure the weaker dogs are actually able to eat.
Please also note that this letter from ArcelorMittal also confirms once again that they, and not donors, are paying for the shelter and all its expenses. ROLDA is not and never was in need of donations for this large shelter.
Here is the letter from ArcelorMittal:

Thank you for writing to us and for offering your input.
ArcelorMittal Galati, as a responsible member of the community, is commited to ensure the best possible conditions, veterinary services and care for the tramp dogs in the area.
We are currently performing a review at the dog shelter and, so far, some potential improvements were identified. We will work with ROLDA for implementing them.
Best regards,
Eric Remisz
