The Magic of Animal Sanctuaries: A Place of Healing and Hope
Animal sanctuaries are more than just safe havens for animals; they are places where healing and hope flourish.
At The Wonkey Donkey, we give refuge and protection to donkeys and other animals who have been neglected and faced terrible hardship. Each beautiful creature here has its own story of resilience and recovery.
When you visit us, you become part of their journey towards healing.
Meet Our Residents: The Donkeys and Other Animals We Care For
Our animal sanctuary is home to, of course, our famous donkeys, but also goats and horses, each with its own unique personality and background.
Our resident donkeys are particularly special; these gentle creatures often arrive needing both physical rehabilitation and emotional support.
Interacting with them face-to-face really lets you appreciate their individual quirks and understand the significance of providing them with a nurturing environment. You might even get to feed a biscuit to one of our best behaved donkeys!
How Your Visit Supports Our Mission: Making a Difference
Every visit to our sanctuary supports our mission in profound ways.
Your admission fees contribute directly to the care of our animals. We pay for nutritious food, vet bills, hay, straw, enrichments toys, upkeep of the pens and stables. It’s a lot!
When you visit us, every penny you spend goes directly to the donkeys. We couldn’t care for them without you.
Beyond financial support, your presence helps raise awareness about donkey welfare issues. By sharing your experience at The Wonkey Donkey with your friends and family, you amplify our message and help inspire positive change in our community.
Contributing Beyond Your Visit: Donations, Volunteering, and Legacy Giving
There are a tonne ways you can continue supporting our work beyond just visiting us physically!
You can donate funds, you can adopt a donkey, volunteer your time or skills, and you can buy the donkeys gifts from their Amazon Wish List. We really cannot stress enough how much you help us when you do this. Thank you.
