Hayling Island Donkey Sanctuary

We care for ex working Donkeys and those in need of a forever home who are simply unwanted or neglected.

We are a small rustic independent sanctuary
And are dedicated to all the donkeys in our care.

🤍 🩵 Cash 🩵🤍

Our eldest resident now in his late twenties, and a firm favourite with everyone who knows him 🥰

We have to keep an extra eye on him in this hot weather with his thick coat as a result of his cushions, a trim here n there to get some off , but he’s not silly he seeks shade or you will find him in one of the shelters out of the sun quietly snoozing.

A juicy cold watermelon or a fruity ice block helps which he loves ….. 🍉🧊
He still have a very good appetite which is great as it means he takes it medication easy 😋 x

💕 Florence 💕

One of the three french donkeys that came over in march.
We rarely know a donkeys past life and what they may have endured 😔
These three are extremely cautious of people around them especially when we have to undertake procedures like feet trimming,
dental work etc.
With time and patience they are very slowly starting to overcome there fears
but there is a long way to go and it would appear a lot of mental scars to heal but we will do everything we can to help them along their healing path ……🥰

🩵 Piper 🩵

Piper is an adorable boy, he’s kind gentle nature so polite to all his donkey family and loves human interaction 🥰

People ask how do the donkeys cope in the hot weather…. Well they are absolutely fine, protected from the annoying flys, clean beds, fed and watered, free to stand still, seek shade in the woods, lye down whatever they wish nothing is asked of them, they want for nothing.

We however, still have to do all the work and its tough to say the least, it can take 5 hours each morning and again in the afternoon for a team to just complete the daily chores, feeds, mucking out, pooh picking etc. its very hard work, especially in this heat its even harder and utterly exhausting……… 🥵

Our team are AMAZING!!!! We can’t thank you all enough for your selfless and persistent efforts in helping make sure the donkeys receive everything they need! ….
For the love of donkeys ❤️ 🙏👏🙏👏 xx

Some tasty enrichment…..🌿😋🌿

Cutting branches obviously safe edible ones provides not only food but mental stimulation, they love logs to chew and especially stripping off the bark 🪵
