The Donkey Sanctuary depends entirely on donations from its supporters in order to continue with our vital work both here in Ireland, the UK and worldwide.
Please support us by making a donation.
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.
Journey to recovery
Safely in our care Mossie started his journey to recovery. Our veterinary nurses began by befriending and reassuring him all the steps of the way on his recovery.
We often come across cases of neglect and Sam is no exception. At three years of age, Sam certainly had not had the best start in life. Rescued by our Sanctuary in Ireland he now has a Sanctuary for life.
The Donkey Sanctuary has a team of 12 area welfare officers, two regional welfare officers and a welfare manager who monitor donkey welfare across the country. Their work is one of the ways that your generous donations are put to use and we would not be able to offer this service without your support.
This lovely donkey, Paddy OD, arrived at the Sanctuary in a dreadful condition. His feet were appallingly overgrown and he had an untreated injury to his hind leg caused by a piece of wire that had become ingrown right down to the bone. It was painful for him to walk and he will now require our expert care and attention for the rest of his life.
Oliver was abandoned and tied up tightly when our Sanctuary staff found him.
We were appalled that he had been left to fend for himself and his long hooves were agonisingly painful for him to walk on.
Please help us to continue our work rescuing and caring for donkeys like Oliver, by making a donation online, no matter how small.
Thank you.
