Our shelter
Located in Camus, Connemara, in the heart of the Gaeltacht, surrounded by beauty and nature.
Dogs sleep in purpose built kennels and have a variety of outdoor areas available to them for exercise and enjoyment. We are continuously developing the Shelter so that we can offer the best possible care to all the MADRA dogs that spend time with us here.

We strive to make your visit enjoyable and safe, which means there are some restrictions in place.
If you want to adopt or foster one of our dogs, please fill in a questionnaire and we can make arrangements with our rehoming team.
We do operate a “Date with the Dogs” day visut at our shelter but this requires pre-booking also. You can keep up to date on the latest booking information here.
