Essential to the wellbeing
of donkeys and mules
Covid-19 Update: 1 April 2020, 09:18 GMT
The Donkey Sanctuary Ireland is currently closed in line with Government restrictions. We would like to assure our supporters and friends that our resident donkeys are not affected and they continue to receive the highest level of care.
Currently, only essential staff (such as grooms) still have access to our sanctuary. The rest of our staff are working from home where possible. We’ll keep you updated with any changes.
