Today we got a lovely email from Siobhan, Irene and Rua’s new foster mom. We here at The Sanctuary are delighted that these lovely donkeys have found such a loving new home. Siobhan wrote:-

In January 1997 thirteen donkeys were rescued from appalling conditions in Co Wexford. Many of the mares in this group were in foal when they came in and subsequently gave birth here at The Sanctuary.

Lorraine gave birth to Jacinta one of our adoption donkeys and Tiffany, who we featured on our website recently, gave birth to Noelie and are now in a new foster home in Co Mayo.

We’ve decided to give you an update on Tiffany and Noelie who travelled to their new home in Co Mayo earlier this year. Their new foster mom Margaret sends us regular updates and we are very grateful to her for this.

She tells us that they have become real pets however Tiffany is still a little shy with strangers and Noelie is very protective of her.

They live in a lovely paddock adjacent to Margaret’s home and after a shaky start with Rusty the dog they are now good friends.
