MADRA is a community based charity and we feel particularly strongly that older dog owners should have more support to enable them to keep their dogs at home. Dogs can provide great company for people living alone, a reason to get up and out in the morning and a sense of security which is particularly important for people living in isolated areas. We aim to provide an ambulance service to bring their dogs to and from the vets for routine check ups and neutering and also a boarding service should the person require long or short term hospitalisation. All these services are free of charge but donations are always welcome and very much needed.
Dolores got Pal from MADRA and we keep in regular contact, bringing him the vet when needed and boarding him when Dolores needs to go away. Pal is a great companion for Dolores and offers her the extra security a person living alone needs.
Education Programme
We are launching a new education programme for Primary School students. We will visit children in their classrooms and through fun, interactive workshops we aim to teach children about responsible behaviour towards animals. Workshops are designed to suit all class levels and to engage children in discussing issues surrounding dog welfare and safety around dogs.
The goal of our programme is to teach compassion and responsibility towards all animals and dogs.
