Adopt a Donkey --- Why?

Ranked #1,995 in Pets & Animals, #51,840 overall | Donates to Long Hopes

To educate you and me about the Donkey.

Why do I have a donkey lens, you ask?  While surfing for some good nature webcams that I can share with my grandchildren I happened upon a 'donkey web cam' and quickly learned a few things about the donkey that I never knew before.  So this lens is to educate me and you about The Donkey.


Learn about Donkey charities and how you can help a donkey. Squidoo Charity now gives to the charity Longhopes Donkey Rescue. This is exciting news! This lens is now giving part of it's earnings to this charity every month.


I found some donkey stuffies.  Couldn't resist them!

The Donkey Sanctuary

The Donkey Sanctuary was founded by Dr. Elisabeth Svendsen MBE, after she saw seven little donkeys crammed in a small pen at Exeter Market. It was registered as a charity in 1973.

Over the years almost 9,000 donkeys in need of care have passed through the Donkey Sanctuary's gates.

Donkey Charity - that provides funding for children and donkeys

Welcome to The Donkey Sanctuary
Since 1969 we have taken over 12,000 donkeys into our care in the UK and Ireland and have over 45 welfare officers who can follow up reports of cruelty to or neglect of donkeys, quickly and efficiently. We also have core overseas projects in Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Kenya and Mexico - bringing urgent veterinary assistance to working donkeys in distress. Further projects exist in Europe where many more donkeys need our help.
Why Adopt a Donkey?
By adopting one of our donkeys for one year, you will be helping toward the running costs of our charity, (The Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys) which provides riding therapy for children with special needs and disabilities.
Charity for Children and Donkeys
