The aims of The Donkey Sanctuary are to prevent the suffering of donkeys worldwide through the provision of high quality, professional advice, training and support on donkey welfare. In the UK and Ireland permanent sanctuary is provided to any donkey in need of refuge.
In the UK and Ireland the Sanctuary has taken over 12,000 donkeys into its care. Many of these have been rescued after having been cruelly neglected and others come from loving homes for various reasons. No donkey is ever refused admission to the Sanctuary, provided it has a certificate of fitness to travel, and each donkey is guaranteed a life of loving care and attention.
The Donkey Sanctuary depends entirely on donations from its supporters in order to continue with its vital work worldwide. Approximately 8.3p in every £1 donated is spent on administration costs, which means that the majority of all donations received go directly to helping the donkeys.
