Mossie was found in a dreadful state. His hooves were severely overgrown and he was covered in mud.
Despite all this, his faith in humans hadn’t been lost. When our welfare team found him, he was so friendly and happy to see people - it was heart warming.
We are looking for enthusiastic, flexible people with their own transport who are willing to give some quality time to our resident donkeys. Suitable applicants will receive training and be accredited to work in pairs on our farms in Liscarroll - the most suitable farm for each person will be selected by our experienced trainers.
Our appeal to supporters to name a little colt foal who was born here at the Sanctuary on 4th July this year has been very successful and today Paddy Barrett, our PR Manager, has drawn the winning entry.
The winning name given to the little colt is "Uncle Sam" which was chosen by Kate and Aoife O'Connor from Co Kilkenny. The girls will receive a certificate and a colour photograph of "Uncle Sam".
The name is very appropiate since our "Uncle Sam" was born on the 4th July - American Independance Day.
Little Samantha Cassidy (aged 10) from Massachusetts, USA suffers from a very serious illness so The Make a Wish Foundation offered to grant her greatest wish. It turned out that Samantha really wanted to visit her adopted donkey Timmy who lives here at The Donkey Sanctuary with the other adoption donkeys.
The Donkey Sanctuary has recently launched a new short film that provides visual and technical support to farriers about donkey foot care.
An introduction to Donkey Foot Care is free to all farriers and industry apprentices and has been produced by the donkey-welfare charity to pass on the latest advice based on their own experiences in the care and management of donkeys. The film also identifies key differences between horses’ and donkeys’ feet.
This beautiful little colt foal was born at The Donkey Sanctuary on Sunday 4th July 2010 and really needs a name. We would like our supporters to name this foal, and to make sure everyone is in with an equal chance of naming the foal we have kept it really simple.
