Connacht Rugby and Irish International star Finlay Bealham has become the newest official ambassador for MADRA Dog Rescue charity.
Bealham, known for his dedication and compassion both on and off the field, brings his passion for animal welfare to support MADRA’s mission of providing care and rehabilitation for dogs in need.
MADRA, whose running costs reach approximately half a million per year, relies heavily on donations from supporters and income raised through volunteer-organised fundraisers.
“I am thrilled to become an ambassador for MADRA Dog Rescue,” said Finlay. “Animal welfare is something that I’m very passionate about, and I believe that every dog deserves a chance at a better life.”
“MADRA’s commitment to rescuing and rehabilitating homeless dogs resonates deeply with me, and I’m excited to be a part of their efforts.”
Bealham is currently in France with the Ireland squad prepping for the world cup, but before jetting off he spent some time with his new two and four legged friends at MADRA’s kennels at Camus.
MADRA’s team works tirelessly to provide the highest level of care, patience, and training to each dog in their care. Their goal is to prepare each dog for a new life, regardless of their background or circumstances.
“We are delighted to welcome Finlay Bealham to the MADRA family as an ambassador,” expressed Dawn Divilly, Director of Operations at MADRA Dog Rescue.
“We are dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of homeless dogs, and having someone as passionate and caring as Finlay on board helps us raise awareness and support for our cause.”
“Together, we aim to shine a light on the needs of these dogs and encourage the public to make a difference.”
MADRA currently faces the challenge of being over capacity and urgently seeks individuals willing to open their homes as foster or adoptive families for rescue dogs.
The team provides ongoing training and support for each family, ensuring the best possible care for the dogs.
Financial contributions, regardless of size, are also crucial in supporting MADRA’s mission and the recovery of the dogs in their care.
