🌟Volunteer Spotlight 🌟

Adam is a part of our great volunteer team since October 2023. He joins us every Monday and Thursday to clean out the paddocks, take care off and cuddle with our donkeys ♥️ Secretly Paco is his favorite 🤫🤭.

"We visited in June 2023 with family and then again in September 23 with friends. I thought the energy of the place was very positive and knew that would like to be involved in the care of the donkeys.
I enjoy the physical aspect too. It’s a good workout cleaning out the paddocks and stables."

Give some 👏 to Adam 😊♥️🙏

Your donation will directly fund the materials and labor needed to install new fencing around our rescue center. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in ensuring these donkeys have a safe place to call home.

Please donate today and help us secure their future. Thank you for your support! ❤️

Fortunately, despite the heavy rain, we have no major damage. Our donkeys are in the stables or they can stay dry in one of the shelters in our paddocks.

We sympathize with everyone and all the charities who are dealing with major problems and damage. Please help and take good care of each other 🙏♥️

We are closed! Due to the weather we need to close our rescue center for this week. We are cancelling all activities this week, it is muddy, slippery and dangerous to do any activities at the moment.

Jenny and all our other donkeys are wishing you a marvelous weekend 🥳🥳🥳

The sun ☀️is out again after a few (much needed) rainy days ☔🌧️ and our donkeys are fully enjoying ❤️

Our rescue center is open this weekend for visits, between 10.00 and 13.00.

Do you ever wonder what our donkeys think about when they are getting ready to go for a walk? 🤗🤭

Vida: Alright, buddy, time for a walk!
Paco: Whoa, whoa! Why the sudden urgency? I was just enjoying the silence over here
Vida: Because if we don’t get moving, we’ll miss out on the hills! You know what that means—more snacks and plenty of humans to adore us!
Paco: Snacks? Well, why didn’t you say so? But can you at least let go of my harness? I’d like to walk like a dignified donkey, not a tugboat.
Vida: Dignified? Please! You and I both know we’re known for our charming clumsiness. Besides, I’m just trying to keep you from wandering off into a patch of mud.
Paco: Fair point. But can we at least agree that when we get to the hills, I’m leading? I have a reputation to uphold.
Vida: Deal! But only if you promise to stop and pose for pictures. The humans love it, and it might score us extra treats!
Paco: Now you’re talking! A walk in the hills with fans and snacks sounds perfect. Plus, we get to show off our fabulous ears!

😎😎😎

We still have availability this weekend for our famous donkeywalks. Come and join our beautiful boys ❤️

POV: You go to a donkey rescue center and are taking a few donkeys on a walk ❤️ This could be your story: "As I stepped into the donkey rescue center, excitement buzzed through me. The donkeys greeted me with curious eyes and soft brays, and I could feel an instant connection. I was paired with a gentle brown donkey named Lucia, who nuzzled my hand as if inviting me to join her on an adventure. Walking through the sun-dappled trails of the forest, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. Lucia walked beside me, her ears flicking back and forth as she took in the sights and sounds. I wanted to share this experience with the world—the way the sunlight filtered through the leaves, the laughter of the joining volunteers and the simple joy of being with these incredible animals. Every moment felt like a treasure, and I couldn’t help but snap photos, capturing the beauty of the day. I envisioned posting about it and inspiring others to support this amazing rescue. As we walked on, I realized this was more than just a day out; it was a call to connect, to spread awareness, and to show the world the joy these donkeys bring." Thank you @sisstiss for making this lovely reel ❤️

❤️ Our rescue donkeys enjoy cuddling with people due to their gentle, social nature. Here are a few reasons why this behavior occurs and what it says about the connection between donkeys and humans: Social creatures: Donkeys are inherently social animals that thrive on companionship. Cuddling allows them to engage in social behavior, reinforcing their bonds with humans. Trust and security: When donkeys seek out cuddling, it indicates a level of trust. They feel safe and comfortable around humans, showcasing the potential for deep emotional connections. Emotional sensitivity: Donkeys are known to be emotionally intelligent. They can sense human emotions and often respond with affection, seeking to provide comfort and companionship. Mutual benefits: Cuddling provides physical warmth and comfort for both donkeys and humans, creating a reciprocal relationship that enhances well-being on both sides. Therapeutic interaction: The bond formed through cuddling can lead to therapeutic effects, highlighting the positive impact of human-animal relationships on mental and emotional health. Overall, the cuddling behavior of donkeys reflects their sociability and emotional depth, emphasizing the profound connection that can exist between humans and animals. Our volunteers and visitors love te cuddle with our donkeys and they enjoy just as much as we do ❤️ #donkey #donkeyhugs #hugs #cuddle #bonding #trust #love #donkeylove #rescuecenterspain #rescuedonkey

❤️ Which basic needs do we offer our donkeys at our rescue center ❤️ Shelter: Donkeys need a safe and comfortable shelter to protect them from harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow and extreme heat. A well-ventilated barn or a simple three-sided shed can provide adequate protection. Nutrition: A balanced diet is crucial. Donkeys primarily require high-fiber hay or pasture grass, as they are prone to obesity and related health issues. Fresh water should always be available. Social Interaction: Donkeys are social animals and thrive in the company of other donkeys or compatible animals. Isolation can lead to stress and behavioral issues, so keeping them in pairs or small groups is ideal. Exercise: Regular exercise is essential for their physical health. Providing ample space for walking, grazing, and playing helps prevent obesity and promotes overall well-being. Daily walks with humans can also enhance their mental stimulation. Healthcare: Routine veterinary care, including vaccinations, dental check-ups, and hoof trimming, is important for maintaining a donkey's health. Mental stimulation: Donkeys are intelligent and require mental enrichment. This can come from interactive toys, training sessions or simply spending time with people. Variety in their environment can also help keep their minds active. Grooming: Regular grooming helps keep a donkey's coat healthy and can also strengthen the bond between the donkey and its handler. It's a great way to check for any skin issues or parasites. Do you want to come and walk with one of our donkeys?

✨Hope you are having a really nice day as Castano is having ✨❤️ Donkeys have a delightful habit of rolling around in the sand and it's behavior that serves several purposes. Both bringing them joy and comfort. This activity is an essential part of their daily routine and overall well-being. One of the primary reasons donkeys roll in the sand is to keep themselves clean. Despite how it might look, this behavior helps them remove dirt and loose hair. It's an effective and enjoyable way for donkeys to maintain their hygiene. Besides cleanliness, rolling in the sand provides donkeys with a form of physical and mental stimulation🐴❤️

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.
