About Róisín

Róisín is a fun-loving donkey with loads of personality. Quick to come to the fence, Róisín can be recognised by distinctive pink markings on her soft and whiskery nose.

When Róisín was born in Co. Clare, her mother, Heather was in a critical condition and her owner decided it was best to relinquish both donkeys into our care. The foal was named Róisín after the vet who was treating them before they were relinquished to the sanctuary. With intensive care, Heather pulled through and Róisín thrived in our care.

Today Róisín likes to spend time with fellow adoption donkeys Julie Anne, Bella and Richie.

Her curious nature means that she is always where the most action is going on and loves to watch staff and visitors in the yard.
