Our primary goal is to educate current and potential donkey owners, raise the status of donkeys by offering public engagement with the donkeys here on our sanctuary, and eventually offer our donkeys to assist in t

herapy . You can check out our page or follow us on Instagram. Our website is www.oregondonkeys.org.

PLEASE , Please take these extreme cold weather conditions seriously!!! Donkeys are not well insulated and are much more susceptible to hypothermia and dehydration colic in exceptionally cold conditions. We unfortunately just received news that 2 donkeys literally froze to death standing up in -20 degree weather in outside shelters.
Hot water , warm mash and lots of hay to “ graze “ on throughout the day/ night is essential care. In addition to blankets in elder and health compromised equine. Simple and proper stewardship of all animals is necessary and compassionate. It is devastating to hear about these preventable losses.
Please be kind.

If they have one weakness, however, it's their lack of an insulating winter coat. Recent study results from the U.K. revealed that donkeys' hair coats hardly change across the seasons, meaning they aren't nearly as well-equipped to deal with cold weather as many people might believe.

As this year draws to an end, we wanted to thank everyone that has followed this page. We also wanted to remind you that we are no longer serving as an adoption facility for PVDR. Our new focus is now as Oregon Donkey Sanctuary,an educational and donkey assisted activity facility.

PVDR needs a replacement facility here in Oregon. If you’re interested in becoming part of the nations largest donkey rescue, please consider becoming a satellite facility. Here’s a link for more information. Please Share.

Peaceful Valley is looking for qualified individuals to operate Satellite Centers across the United States for both Adoption Centers and Training Centers. We would love for you to join our team so that together, we can continue to make this world a better place for donkeys.

URGENT! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED MORE THAN EVER!! PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN!!!

The busy season is just barely getting started and then THIS happened😖

It was raining hard so I closed the barn doors and was coming off a rock bank down to ground level not really paying attention to where or how I was stepping. I severely twisted my ankle and, while my foot was planted firmly around some rocks, the rest of my body kept moving forward. I heard a cracking sound and was pretty sure I broke something. Dan just happened to be there when it happened and he quickly picked me up and carried me to the truck and drove me to emergency.

I fractured my ankle, tibia and fibula. It's gonna require surgery. They splinted it for now. I will contact the surgeon today to get my surgery appointment.

At Healing Hearts Donkey Shelter And Refuge, I am a one woman show. I do it all. Obviously, there's going to be A LOT of things I won't be able to do.

With Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue's donkey shipment coming in May to prepare for, a barn to finish, a public restroom and a volunteer workroom to build and refencing to do, my husband already has his hands full with his own "high priority" projects.

I need donkey walkers because, with crutches, I can't walk donkeys. With crutches I can't clean stalls, I can't rake manure , I can't prep and distribute their food and I can't harrow the paddocks.

WITHOUT SOME HELP, I'M LITERALLY UP THE OKANOGAN RIVER WITHOUT A PADDLE 🥺

you can schedule your own days and times and work alone or in groups. For out-of-towners, we will work out some kind of accommodations. Any help you can provide will TRULY be gratefully be appreciated.

PVDR fun fact....this donkey right here...Isabell or Izzy was the reason PVDR started 22 years ago. The Meyers found this donkey on Craigslist and thought she would be a great companion for their horse. Little did they know, just how much they would learn about donkeys from Izzy. Today, Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue is the world's largest equine rescue because of this one donkey! Photo credits to trainer Stormy from the Central Headquarters 🧡

May we pause for a moment to honor all creatures, great and small, and recognize that we all deserve peace. Peace within our surroundings, within ourselves, and with each other. Donkeys are our focus and we will continue to do everything we can to bring peace to this forgotten creature. But too, we wish that all beings everywhere may know peace. 🕊️

This is why adoption in pairs or with another donkey is so important.

Sleep deprivation in horses can be complex, so a methodical collaborative approach can be the most beneficial way to provide a solution

Hi! Hi! Good Morning!!! 🧡

01/05/2022

Here is Mike returning to his barn for the evening. I had left a dumpling fork on the other side of the fence. He had never seen anything there previously so he had to stop, analyze and decide if it was a danger. Donkeys powers of observation are quite keen. Everything different is interpreted as a possible hazard.

25/04/2022

We were grateful for awesome weather and a very interested group of visitors this past weekend. Great things ahead at our sanctuary!

JoJo. Came to us from PVDR almost 11 years ago. He’s still here and still as wise as ever. You can now follow more JoJo at our new page, Oregon Donkey Sanctuary Northwest. Thanks!

The power of observation 😆

Keep your donkeys healthy this winter

Donkeys prefer water at least 60 degrees. Offering warm to hot water in cold temperatures will cut down on chances of colic and encourage more water intake.

There was a bit of disagreement at the Board of Directors meeting. 🙄

This is Dave. Adopted out with his buddy Huey but came back during the fires last year. We noticed he had lost some weight and realized he had difficulty eating. His teeth are fine but he apparently has nerve damage that precludes him from prehensile use of his upper lip. He also has a tough time drinking water. He is now on a twice daily regimen of hand feeding a wet mash. He is doing much better but we still have not been able to identify the root cause. X-rays and an endoscopy have not shed light on his affliction. He is a sweet boy and we will do our best to ensure his care.

Wow! 4 years have flown by since we rescued these sweet boys just before they were to be home killed.😔 After many months of rehabilitation Dave and Huey are now doing very well! Dave has some difficulty with prehension ( picking up food with his mouth) due to nerve damage from head beatings by his previous owner. But, we feed him bowls of wet mash with supplements twice a day and he is thriving.😁 Many thanks to Diana K and Joanna M for helping us grab these adorable guys just in the nick of time!🙌❤️

There is NO napping on the grass allowed when Big Pearl is on patrol! She caught me.🙄

Erwin found the “self serve” window... much to the dismay of Mike and Leon! 🙄🤣

Awsome Blossom

Our Story

We were an Oregon/ Pacific Northwest satellite adoption and rehab facility for PVDR but currently we primarily focus on networking via social media to help rehome donkeys here in the PNW. We work to educate the public about the wonderful attributes of the donkey as well as promote PVDR and other donkey rescues.

PVDR main ranch is located in San Angelo, Texas. There are 24 additional Satellite Rescue/Adoption Centers throughout the country. Currently PVDR has over 3000 donkeys under daily care across the country and hundreds awaiting "rescue".
