How to adopt
Guardian (rehoming) scheme: apply online (~20 minutes), attend the free practical donkey care course and complete the online theory course; a Donkey Welfare Adviser gets in touch and the sanctuary matches you with donkeys being prepared for rehoming. They also help rehome privately owned donkeys (ask when the adviser contacts you).
Requirements
- Approximately one acre of safe land for a pair of donkeys.
- An area of hard standing to help protect your donkeys’ feet.
- Free access to a stable or suitable housing to protect your donkeys from the elements.
- Robust fencing to keep your donkeys secure
- Time and commitment to allow donkeys to become a big part of your life.
- A commitment to providing for their daily needs, including feeding adlib straw and clean bedding.
- The means to cover routine health care, including dental, farriery, annual vaccinations and other veterinary costs, for your donkeys
- A big heart to give your donkeys all the love and attention they deserve.
- We ask that all Guardian homes take out third party insurance cover, we would advise you also consider having cover for vet’s bills.
