Babies in the snow
It is cold, icy, and a tad snowy, but luckily it isn't as bad as they predicted. The donkeys are all doing well despite being hot weather animals. The babies, well, they are having a blast! And yes, they all have areas to get out of the weather. Sometimes they choose not too.
Happy New Year!
Here at Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue, we are welcoming 2025 in with a bang. We are looking forward to an even better new year and can't wait to rescue more donkeys, rehabilitate them and place them into wonderful homes. We would like to wish you all a wonderful Happy New Year!
It's a beautiful day at Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue.
Donkeys gone wild!
The donkeys are feeling good and being their feisty selves. The weather is cool, leaves are fallen and crunchy, and donkeys are loving life. There were no cookies involved in this video, just silly donkeys.
I do not know how much a donkey remembers of the past. They say a donkey never forgets anything. We know they are emotional beings, we see that by studying their behavior. I would love to think that the donkeys at Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue feel free, happy, cared for and loved. When I think of the scared, skinny, ill and neglected donkeys arriving who are now running freely and demanding kisses from a human, I have to think they are putting their pasts behind them. They know love, and they never are without food and fresh water. This is the life donkeys deserve!
The donkeys at Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue are enjoying the cooler weather and their freedom.
Happy Thanksgiving
From the nearly 300 donkeys on site and the Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue team, we would like to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. As you sit down to enjoy your meal with those closest to you, reflect on the things you have accomplished in life and all those who helped you achieve your goals. Success never occurs alone.
The donkeys and I wish to send a huge thanks to all the members of the PPDR team and all of those near and far who helped and continue to help these amazing donkeys. Together, we have rescued over 600 donkeys from abuse, starvation and neglect. We also provided a landing spot for several more, preventing them from ever experiencing these hardships. We maintain approximately 300 rescues on site. I cannot thank you enough for all you do to help protect and provide another chance for these amazing creatures.
Beautiful Humpy! Have you seen the new storybook we are putting out about Humpy? We are taking preorders now and they are selling very well. Look in the comments for how to get one for your donkey loving kiddos.

Peek at the rescue
Hey everyone. I wasn't able to get a lot of pictures today. It is getting ready to storm, so it was a busy time preparing the donkeys. I did make you a video to get a glimpse as I moved from place to place around part of the rescue.
Eric and Oakley have the zoomies! Look at these babies go. Eric is the baby who was rejected by his mother at 3 days old after being born on a kill pen lot. Oakley was puny when he was born and his mother had no milk. He had issues with his umbilical cord not closing and was just overall an unhealthy newborn. Both are being raised by the PPDR volunteers here at the rescue and are doing fantastic!
Donkeys gone wild
It is always so funny to watch the donkeys running and playing. I went out to the field recently to move some of the last hayride decorations. I heard their hoof beats coming from the distance. They found me. šš I hopped up in the back of the buggy to get a good video of them for you. Hope it brings a big smile on your face as it does mine. ā¤ļøā¤ļø these sweet donkeys.
Their transformations, their character and personalities are really such an amazing part of rescue. I realize not all people feel donkeys have personalities, emotions, or intelligence. But caring for them and living among them day in and day out makes it very obvious they are so much more than people give them credit for. I am 100% sure our volunteers will all tell you that they are characters and so loving. If you have never hugged a donkey or spent time petting, grooming, or watching a happy donkey, you are missing out.
