LUDO'S CASTRATION💪🙏
We have finally been able to castrate Ludo. Yesterday,after our christmas fair,our animal welfare team was ready to assist Joaquin, our vet and proceed with the castration.🙏
As we told you before, Ludito had to wait almost 4 months for his castration😓

The state of malnutrition in which he arrived, along with his weak legs, put his life in danger in this surgery🙏

It is being difficult for all of us to see him separated from his companions, and to keep him in our stable area protected from others...but it is all for his own good🧡

Ludo was semi-sedated during the intervention and our team ensuring he felt in familiar hands at all times🧡

Patricia, Montse and Stephane attended our vet and then passed on the information to the rest of the volunteers about their cures and need for controlled walks for optimal drainage and healing of the wound.🌿🧡

We will inform you of his recovery...he still has many days of cures left and a little pain when doing them...but we know he understands that everything is to ensure he can become the healthy and calm donkey we always imagine.

We are so proud of you Ludo!!!🧡🧡
You are truly a champ💪

🍂🧡Welcome Afera🧡🍂
We love explaining the stories of the animals we have at the sanctuary.

That sweet soul you see on the photo is Afera🧡
She is only 5 years old has been with us for almost a month.
Janet,her owner,adopted Afera when she was still young, before she was even one year. Janet was looking for a companion for her mare who had been left alone, when Afera crossed her path,and of course,she felt in love with her.

She owns land near Coín and had all the time and love in the world to dedicate to her animals.
Afera has grown up in a perfect environment, with the care and attention that all animals deserve🌿🧡

Sadly she contacted us through a mutual friend because she could no longer take care of her equines due to a serious injury in her back.

Unfortunately we do not rescue horses🙏,we don't have the facilities or land necessary to give them the propper care, but Janet was convinced she wanted Afera to stay with us😊🙏, knowing that she would be in the best hands🧡
So she contacted a horse sanctuary and decided to give each of them a new home.
The same day we went to get Afera in Coín,the Horse Sanctuary team was also getting the mare,Afera's companion.
That way we avoid separation anxiety when an animal is left alone🙏🏻
Both Afera and her companion arrived at their respective new homes on the same day.😊

Afera felt a bit home sick the first days,missing her owner and her companion...but soon she was too busy meeting new donkeys and volunteers,being part of our walks and activities as if she had been here for years!!🙏

After a few months we will see which other donkey she has an affinity with and only then we will start the process to find her an adoption home according to her character, age and needs...but first, as always,we will wait for her to bond with another of our animals,to make sure she is accompanied for the rest of her life.🍂

Meanwhile, Afera enjoys every moment of the day. She loves cuddles, hugs, walks and it is a privilege to spend time with her.
WE LOVE YOU AFERA❤️

🌿This image represents the trust that Ludo has already gained with our farrier🌿
🇪🇸🇬🇧
He has been with us for 5 months now!
Seeing and feeling his process and recovery daily is an experience that the entire DD team has the privilege to be part of🧡

Ludito is little by little becoming a brave donkey, who faces his fears daily, but he no longer needs to try to bite all the volunteers as a defense!!!🙏

Now he faces his fears in a calmer and more mature way, fruit of his observation to the rest of our donkey tribe during these months.
This is how he had to learn how to "be a donkey."
He did it from his privileged balcony with views of the rest of the paddoks.

He has been learning from his future companions, from their behaviour, interactions and walks we do with our donkeys.

Ludo,always observing, learning and showing us...how ready he is to be one more donkey amongst the rest!!!🙏🧡

That day,Ludito,is getting closer and closer😊

We just can't wait to mix him with the tribe🧡

His next test to overcome will be his castration this Friday.
We have had to wait all this time given the degree of malnutrition we found him with. Now that he has gained that necessary strength, Ludo will demonstrate once again that he is a champion💪

We love you, our great little Ludo.🧡

-----------------------
🇪🇸Esta imagen representa la confianza que ya ha cogido Ludo con nuestro herrador.
Leva ya 4 meses con nosotros y
observar su proceso y su recuperación es una experiencia que tenemos el privilegio de vivir y sentir todo el equipo de DD.
Ludito se està convirtiendo poco a poco en un b***o valiente,que se enfrenta a sus miedos a diario,pero ya no necesita intentar morder a todos los voluntarios como defensa😅🙏
Ahora se enfrenta a sus miedos de una forma más tranquila y madura,fruto de su observación al resto de nuestra tribu de b***os durante estos meses.
Así ha tenido que aprender a "ser un b***o"
Lo ha hecho desde su privilegiado balcón con vistas al resto de los prados.

Ha estado aprendiendo de sus futuros compañeros y de las interacciones y paseos que hacemos con los b***os.

Ludo siempre observando,aprendiendo y demostrando que cada vez está mas cerca el día que pueda ser uno mas y poder por fin,vivir tranquilo entre compañeros🙏

Su siguiente prueba a superar será su castración este Viernes.

Hemos tenido que esperar todo este tiempo dado el grado de desnutrición con el que lo encontramos.

Ahora que ya ha cogido esa fuerza necesaria,Ludo demostrará de nuevo,que es un campeón😊💪
Te queremos,nuestro pequeño gran Ludo🧡

New Family Member! 🧡🍃🍂 Meet ROMERO!

Romero has been with us for a month now and we're so happy to welcome him to the family! He comes from a lovely home in Niguelas, Granada, where his previous owners reached out for help. Romero had become a bit too much for his mum, Margarita, a very sweet and elderly donkey.

We've seen similar situations before. When it's just a mother and foal living together without other donkeys, it can sometimes be better to separate them after the foal turns one. Now at 2 years old, Romero is reaching adulthood and over the past few months, his behavior toward Margarita had become challenging—he even tried to jump on her when she went into heat! 😓

Margarita finally had enough and made it clear that she needed her space. Which is completely understandable!

Now Romero is with us where he can grow into adulthood, meet new donkeys and allow his mum to enjoy a peaceful, stress-free life in her golden years ♥️

Vida🧡
Our sweet donkey vida is struggling with the flies and has an allergic reaction.😓
We have been using some products to improove hydrating,using coconout oil and some other natural remedies but his hairless ears and back,did not improove much🙏
But our great volunteer Lynn brought this magic natural cream with tea tree oil and that mask last week😊
As you can see,Vida is not the happiest donkey now!😅
He must be thinking...ok,I understand the mask...but PINK?
Seriously?😁

We can't wait see the results of his treatment.
We love our funny little Vida🧡

Celebrating the beauty of Andalucía🌹with our donkeys🌿

Last Wednesday we had the pleasure to be part of an event organized by Villa Padierna Palace Hotel 🏫

They were celebrating an Andalusian day and,of course, we went with our donkeys PACO and LUCIA🧡😉

We have been assisting with 2 of our donkeys for 2 years now and we always feel so welcome around their team!!
The respect they show for our animals,is beyond words🧡
It is an adventure, both for the donkeys and for our dedicated volunteers💪

This time, Patricia, Lisa and Vanessa made sure that both Paco and Lucìa felt at home being with them by their side during the event😊🙏🧡

They spended a calm morning eating grass and *carobs which is what donkeys in Andalucia have been eating for hundreds of years and was always a great supply to their diet.

Again, Anantara team...thanks for a beautiful morning and for the exposure you are giving to our mission through our collaborations 🌿🧡🙏

Transcend a human dream to donkeys’ ideal world

Donkey Dreamland Mijas is the first donkeys rescue center established in Mijas of Andalucia region, Spain, providing accompanied educational and interactive activities/programs. Founded by Amaya Isert, a former seven-sea sailor. Amaya has a strong will to create a space where donkeys can be retired from a life of suffering, being mistreated, being abandoned, or just simply being in omission of the basic care a donkey needs. The vital aim of this initiatives is to recover donkeys from vulnerable health conditions by providing them appropriate treatment and suitable living environment. Moreover, to reinforce animals-concern, particularly donkeys labouring for local tourism businesses, which is crucial to raise the awareness and engagement within the community. Her plan is to start getting donkeys from Mijas, that have worked all their lives without a simple gesture of care.

That is Amaya's dream. And, that is the drives leading her to the discovery of this land to continue making her dream comes true...Donkey Dreamland.

STORY to be told from the Founder of our Donkey Dreamland Mijas...

“I am Amaya initiating this project from my love of donkeys. My dream would not be possible to come true without the help from Katy Louise Darlow(Donkey Mijas movement) and Bill Anderson, the two angels I have by my side to make further steps ahead with my dream.
