Testimonial from Dr. Jeanne Olson, DVM, volunteer veterinarian from Alaska

DR. JEANNE OLSON TRAVELED TO ROMANIA IN 2006 AT THE REQUEST OF ROMANIA ANIMAL RESCUE TO PERFORM SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES FOR THE DOGS IN THE CITY OF GALATI.   ROLDA AND DANA COSTIN WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING ALL ACTIVITIES IN ROMANIA TO SEE TO IT THAT THIS SPAY/NEUTER EVENT WAS A SUCCESS.
DR. OLSON HAS AGREED TO LET US USE HER EMAIL TO MERRITT CLIFTON IN MAY OF 2006 AS HER TESTIMONIAL:
 
From Galati, 2006:  Dr.Olson was in Romania to perform spays/neuters of the dogs in Galati, organized by ROLDA:
 
“Now about the other tragedy here in Romania. i too, believed at first
that Dana’s lack of preparation and lack of response and follow through
was miscommunication, but it is now obviously not. I had experiences
prior to Nancy’s arrival that i questioned but shrugged it off as a
Romanian culture trait and inability to be fluent in each others’ language.
But, today was the last straw….i have been very slow in being able to
spay/neuter dogs here and finally got a good system going yesterday with
a fellow driving the van and delivering dogs to the clinic. Today, he
did not return for 4 hours and i had no dogs to work on. He arrived with
one dog about 2 p.m. and it was because Dana is demanding the van back
and is threatening to call the police. Although RAR paid for the van (donated),
she (Dana) does not have a driver’s license. Plus, Rolando’s mother claims the
registration is in Rolando’s name and now she wants the van. Yes, this
is a mess and there is nothing about putting the dogs first in t
his at all! Habitual liars do not change, however. I would not continue
to put up with this inappropriate behavior and enabling her because of
some tragic past experiences does not help the dogs or her.
Tomorrow, we shall go out on our own and attempt to find some dogs to
spay/neuter by ourselves and rent a van for the next few more days while
i am here. That is the tragedy and really, it is 95% Dana’s fault and
5% of Nancy’s fault…only because she believed Dana’s excuses way too
many times and always found a reason to believe in her because of the
dogs. It is no difference than other human relationships where there is
an abusive person and someone who cannot leave the relationship because
of something they desparately need (in this case, to help the dogs)
So that is my perspective as an unbiased person who only is here to
spay/neuter the dogs.
