Adopt a donkey

When you adopt a donkey your ongoing support will help buy food and medicine, pay for vets and farriers, as well as education and training. Most importantly of all, it rescues helpless donkeys from hopeless situations.

Please note, adoption packs can take up to 10 working days to be delivered to your chosen address within ROI. Delivery may take longer outside of ROI. Whilst waiting for your adoption pack to arrive, you can print your adoption certificate at home.
