The handbook is a comprehensive volume of information on the donkey. Much of the knowledge comes from the meticulous records kept of every donkey at the Sanctuary. The skill of the Sanctuary's veterinary surgeons, non-intrusive research and observations by the staff who care daily for their charges have contributed greatly.

The handbook is only available to the veterinary profession.

Owning or caring for a donkey is most rewarding, although very few realise just how much time, effort and expense goes into the care of donkeys. This guide is intended for anyone who has newly acquired, or is intending to acquire a donkey.
