We cannot understand why these two amazing boys have not found their forever home!

Who wants to adopt two amazingly friendly, good with kids donkeys?!??

These two boys are still looking for their forever home!

Manny and Ralph looking for their forever home!

Manny is ten years old and Ralph is fifteen! Both geldings are absolutely perfect for the vet, farrier and love to walk!

Manny has cushings and takes 1/2 a tab of prascend daily to manage his levels! Ralph has no health issues.

This bonded pair requires a dry pasture with very little grass. They would make perfect hiking buddies!

If you think you would like to add these boys to your herd head to our website and fill out an application!

We often get asked about the cost of owning a donkey. We've done the research, and here’s a breakdown of the basic annual costs. Adopting or rescuing a donkey means taking on financial responsibilities. Understanding these costs ensures we have responsible donkey owners who are prepared for the journey ahead!

GFAS Certified once again!! Thanks to everyone that made this happen! # 🧡 🫏

Every three years, GFAS Certified groups are required to go through a renewal process. This includes submitting additional and updated paperwork, as well as a site visit from the GFAS team. This requires quite a bit of work on the part of these groups and they definitely should be commended for that work, as well as maintaining GFAS standards.

As we are at the half way mark of the year, we want to recognize the groups that have been renewed thus far in 2024. First up, please help us congratulate the following equine groups for their re-certifications this year:

Draft Gratitude
Freedom Hill Horse Rescue
Horse and Hound Rescue Foundation
Mitchell Farm Equine Retirement
Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue
White Bird Appaloosa Horse Rescue

We thank them for all that they do for the animals!

May the Fourth be with you from Fans of Mr. Walter!!

Taffy is smiling as he was adopted last week and loving his new family!! We are so excited for this little boy to grow up in a donkey loving household!

Ms. Rebecca showing more passion 😂

We had an adopter send us this enrichment idea! We love it! (Please do not leave donkeys unsupervised with mirror!!)

Our COO, Kim, talking about appropriate shelter for donkeys! It’s a common misunderstanding that donkeys do not need shelter.

Baby Cadbury making his debut with his momma!

Perfect cool Virginia morning watching these two boys mutually groom one another. This is one way they show affection. Do you see your donkeys groom each other?

Flehmen Friday! Donkeys smiling because it’s the weekend!

Our first baby of 2022! "Fluffy" was born this morning to Farrah who came in with her mom and three brothers in September. They had been abandoned on hundreds of acres in Florida. It took our rescue team 4 days to catch them all. We are so happy that Fluffy will never want for anything!

AppleJack’s Daily Walk
AppleJack’s Daily Walk

Applejack update!! Here he is enjoying his morning walk! We think he rocks that mask pretty well!! 

WE COULDN'T SAY NO TO APPLEJACK Even though he's only half donkey, we couldn't say no to Applejack. We were told that he was a gelding with some bad behavior issues. What we weren't told is that he had a terrible eye issue. When we saw him we gasped and knew we had to help. His eyes were bulging causing him to appear cross eyed and they were very red and inflamed. As it turns out, his issues went beyond his eyes. He is also a cryptorchid, meaning he wasn't gelded after all. It was his testosterone level that was making him difficult. He also has locking stifles that make him appear neurological. Castrating a cryptorchid equine requires surgery in a sterile environment, at about triple the cost of a standard castration. We also knew he needed an eye expert, so we took him to Virginia Tech where they informed us he has bilateral squamous cell carcinoma (cancer in both eyes). The encouraging news is that due to the size and location of the tumors, he's an excellent candidate for surgery with little chance of recurrence, but we need to do it before it spreads. WILL YOU HELP APPLEJACK? The cost for both surgeries (cryptorchid castration and tumor removal on both eyes) is estimated at $2175. If you would like to help, donations can be made online at https://donkeyrescue.org/donate/pvdreast/ or via mail to PVDR, PO Box 216, Miles TX 76861 (write Applejack in the memo area). He is the cutest little non-donkey and is such a good boy. At only four years old he has a great chance at living a long, full life with your help.
