Loving Long Ears Donkey Therapy & San

ctuary, Inc. is a non-profit 501C-3 that rescues donkey's before going to slaughter, have been abused or neglected, or just in need of a good home. We train them for Donkey-Assisted Activities and Therapies to Inspire & Heal the Human Spirit for Veterans, First Responders, Children & Other Adults. At the same we provide a Lifelong Loving Home to Donkeys and more Love they have ever known. I am Jules Peterson, Founder and Director of the 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Charity “Loving Long Ears Donkey Therapy & Sanctuary, Inc.” My purpose is to partner Donkey’s and humans with healing for both! We work with Veterans, First Responders, Children & Other Adults to create a synergy between donkeys and humans that inspires and heals. Our purpose is to brighten someone's day or facilitate one's future. Donkeys are natural at expecting & modeling behavior which aides in communicating wellness skills to clients. We mainly rescue donkeys on their way to slaughter or in need of a new home & provide the love, care they have never known. We rehabilitate and train them for Donkey-Assisted Activities and Therapies. Rescue Donkeys are some of life’s best teachers. Their love and loyalty is the greatest executioner of human emotions & they show us how to love unconditionally, slow down, appreciate the simple things & learn to trust again... even after terrible hurt. Where we live is a much happier place because of them! (PHOTOS)

We had a fun morning with the Carroll ISD Special Programs Transition Students at LLE! 💚 They groomed everyone with plenty donkey hugs, kisses & smiles! We also had a donkey treat bag toss competion & and everyone made the target, before the donkey's could get them and won a prize! 🫏 I think Buffy & Bud were having other creative ideas of what they could do with the targets... 😀 The Carroll Schools Transition Academy is dedicated to empowering young adults with disabilities, so they will become self-directed individuals and active participants in their community and workplace. 🌟 Of course all the donkeys loved them! 🫏Thank you to Toni Goodman McNaughton for helping with the donkey's! ❤️ Lovinglongears.org

Memory photos from three years ago came up of our sweet boy Giovani as a kill pen rescue at six months old. You can see his size next to our mini donkey Peaches. We've added current photos of him now at 3.5 yrs old. 💙 Giovani is so happy at his home with us at Loving Long Ears where we only take in rescues! As a baby he and his momma were in a kill pen and destined for slaughter. Our good friend Diana DeeDee Darnall rescued them both. We took in Giovani and someone else took his momma. Giovani is an American Mammoth donkey who is growing into such a handsome boy! He's doing well with halter training and as a beginning Therapy Donkey! ⭐️ He loves toys, very smart, curious, explores and gets into everything, and thinks he should help when tools come out to build things. 😀 We are blessed and grateful for our big sweet boy Giovani! 💕

Loving Long Ears Donkey Therapy & Sanctuary Offers Support for Dementia & Alzheimer’s. 🌼 (Stan and Bud) 🫏💛 To Schedule an appointment: Call or Text us at 214-991-0797

I watched my mother endure 16 years of Alzheimer’s and wanted to some day be able to offer those suffering from this disease and their families a sanctuary of love and unconditional acceptance. My heart is always filled with gratitude when I see the beautiful synergy of our therapy donkey's offering their support. 🙏💕 At Loving Long Ears we believe communicating effectively with someone who has dementia or Alzheimer’s is not just about using language, it is connecting through their senses. Our trained donkey's are docile intuitive animals who can smell how we feel and provide this through touch, visual cues, and love.

“I am seeking, I am not lost. I am forgetful, I am not gone."
