Highlights
  • Baie du Cap - If you love dogs and crave puppy cuddles this experience is for you

Visit Happy Tails Sanctuary, home to 130 rescue dogs! Most of these loveable furry friends have come from the street. Unwanted, unloved or abused they all have a sad story to tell.

Make their day by coming to visit. You can walk, play and run with the dogs and get smothered in kisses.

All of the dogs in the sanctuary are up for adoption or sponsorship, and the animal loving ream works 24/7 on making sure their suffering days are over. They have a big dog park to play in and also a lovely house to rest with their favourite canine friends.

Your visit contributes towards the well being of the sanctuary dogs and also towards hosting sterilisation campaigns locally in order to reduce the over population of strays on the island.

What's Included
  • Complimentary bottled water
  • Quality time with rescue dogs
Additional Information

If you’re a fan of dogs of all types and breeds, this Adventure is tailor-made for you. Drop by the Joyous Paws Refuge, situated in the island’s southern region, which serves as a secure home for 130 rescued dogs! Most of these charming, fur-coated companions came originally from the streets, while others previously had an ‘owner.’ Regardless of whether they were discarded, unloved, or mistreated, each has a melancholic tale about their former life.

Every dog at the refuge is available for adoption or sponsorship. The dedicated team of animal enthusiasts ensures round-the-clock care to put an end to their days of hardship. They have a spacious dog park for them to play in, and a cozy house to rest in with their cherished canine pals. You can engage, walk, and get active with the dogs, while enjoying their affectionate kisses!

Your presence plays a part in enhancing the refuge dogs’ welfare and also supports the local sterilisation drives to curb the excessive strays population on the island.

Highlight of my holiday! - This was by far the highlight of my entire trip!! So happy we heard about it. The experience from start to finish was amazing! You can really tell how much love the owners have for each and every dog that they rescue. We all left with the biggest smile on our faces and I can’t wait to hopefully adopt one of the dogs in the future. Thank you so much for such a special day!

Wonderful day out, 10/10 would recommend! - 5* from me! Visiting Happy Tails was an absolutely wonderful experience! You can really see the dogs are all so loved and cared for, the team are just brilliant! I would 100% recommend this as an experience for you when on holiday with family, friends, or partners! I can’t wait to come back and visit again next time I’m in Mauritius. Nathalie and the team are clearly very passionate about caring for each and every one of the dogs and it’s so lovely to see. I wish I could take them all home!

Best day of our holiday - This was such an amazing experience. Happy tails couldn’t be a more apt name. The couple who run the sanctuary and their team care so much about their mission and it really shows. My girlfriend and I had the best time. I think she wanted to adopt every dog in there and would have stayed if we didn’t have a flight home. a feel good experience and great to be able to help out. Thanks for a brilliant day and we will definitely be back if / when we revisit the island.
