For those who know Button, well he hasn't changed lol. He is still the biggest brat ever. But he enjoyed his outing so much that when we put in back he ran the fence and brayed to come back out!
Here he is :)

Jacque working with Alexa, one of the Alpine mares from Cleburne, making progress.
It's really sad they lost their
freedom, but because they did, we believe their best chance at a good life in the domestic world is to be gentled and friendly. Our goal is to, eventually, when they are ready, to find them their forever homes.
We have been working with Alexa and Mia everyday and they are making good progress!

This year, we will have our fall auction in September, a little bit earlier than usual.
If you have any items you would like to donate, it would be greatly appreciated.
The proceeds help care for all our residents.
Since fb started charging fees, donations have slowed down quite a bit, and these auctions are a great help. We have taken many animals in need lately and we need help caring for them.
Please help spread the word!
Thank you in advance.

We still have a few spots available, great prizes, please share!

Here are some pictures of castration day.

07/28/2024

Jacque, Micha and I went to Alpine for castrations of the Alpine stallions and jacks.
The vet and her crew were amazing, so caring and generous. After the horses were tranquilized, they got right on it, castration, feet trimming, deworming, shot of excede and fly spray. So efficient, we were really impressed. We also want to thank Destiny and Sue with the SRWHMG, who came out to dart the horses. Destiny was the dart person and she was so awesome and good at her job. This day wouldn't have been possible without her!
It was quite the busy day. Little Benny was castrated and then delivered along with his little friend Minnie Pearl, to their new mama, Shelly Thompson.
Winston was also castrated and came back with us to Mcneal along with the 2 mares, Alexa and Mia. We will be starting their gentling.
We want to thank everyone for their hospitality and generosity.
And of course Julie for taking such good care of the horses.
Here is a recap video of the day. Will post more pictures later.

Old Mo Jo, 1 of the 15 from Cleburne is a sweet old small donkey who probably never had his feet picked up. He was so bad we had to give him Dormasedan to calm him. It took a while to work. As you can see, he is very impatient and found a way to entertain himself! We got to trim his elf front feet. He is walking a lot better now. He is a sweet boy. He could use a sponsor. Please reach out if you have an interest!

Who said donkeys were smart😆 Silly Jackie lol

Joanne waiting patiently for her dinner. What a funny girl!

Carlos, the dangerous donkey! Look how sweet he really is. He was just misunderstood. Poor guy, he must have been so scared. I wonder how many are put there just like him, ending up in ignorant hands. Jacque is doing an amazing job as usual

Mr Frost. I pretty much can walk right up to him and halter him. I am so happy about that. When I let him go, he even follows me back to the gate! He let's me take care of his eyes, I know he hates it. The next step will be a fly mask. He also hates that, it used to take me a long time to put one on. The progress he has made is huge and I am so thrilled :)

Yep, this is Sunrise lol The donkeys must have dug a hole at the back of the pasture, and with all the rain we got last night, it must have filled up. I guess Sunrise likes to roll in the liquid mud. She is a mess, I guess flies won't be bothering her today!

Our Story

Hello, We are a 501 (c)(3) donkey/mule rescue and sanctuary located in the white mountains in Alpine Arizona. Our mission is to try to help unwanted donkeys, mules and horses that are in need of a home because their people can no longer care for them or have been abused. We are home to around 50 equines, mainly donkeys and mules. Some of the animals are re-homed thru adoption with contract. Some are not adoptable and are long term residents of the sanctuary. We rely on donations and fundraisers to care of the residents. Thank you for your interest and your support.
