Our kennels are in need of an upgrade and we need your help!

Building work will soon be getting under way at the MADRA kennels in Camus, Connemara. The much-needed enhancements have been designed to provide a space we can really be proud of for the unwanted and abandoned dogs coming into our care.

Donations of all amounts welcome, and all donors to the project will receive a mention on our website and our annual newsletter’s 'Kennel Upgrade' page.

Various sponsorship options are also listed below. To avail of one of these simply donate the stated amount and in the comments box put in the option you have chosen. Then send your details (your company's name/the name or message you want on our 'Donor Wall') to [email protected].

- Donate €100 and have your family name, your dog's name or a short remembrance message on our Donor Wall. You will also get a thank you mention on our 'Kennel Upgrade' page and in our annual newsletter.

- Donate €500 - €1000 and have your name or your company’s name on our Sponsors Plaque on the exterior of the building. You will also become a listed ‘Sponsor of MADRA’ on our Kennel Upgrade page and in our newsletter.

To sponsor a kennel and have your support recognised by all who visit the kennels choose the

- Gold/Kennel Sponsorship of €2,000 – Get your name or your company's name on an engraved plaque over an individual kennel door and on our Gold Sponsors plaque on the exterior of the building. If you sponsor a kennel for MADRA you will also have your company logo and link posted on the MADRA website and will be named as a sponsor on our Kennel Upgrade page and in our annual newsletter.
- By choosing the Gold Sponsorship you will be helping the hundreds of dogs that pass through our doors every year. Sponsor a kennel and we will send you an annual kennel report documenting and sharing with you the stories and photos of some of the dogs that your kennel has housed and helped.

The much needed enhancements will provide a fantastic space to house the dogs coming into our care. We plan to upgrade our existing facility with a brand new roof and new windows and doors. We’re adding additional insulation to make the kennels warmer, lower heating costs and reduce condensation. We will have new floor surfaces to help prevent infection and special easy-to-clean, anti-bacterial surface paint for the walls. New raised beds for our dogs will be put in and outer corridors are to be constructed to increase capacity and make the kennel environment more comfortable for all concerned.

Developing the facilities will also allow us to improve our outreach programmes in the community, and enhance the experience for our staff, volunteers and visitors.
