WHAT IS PURPLE DONKEY HUMAN RESCUE ?
Donkey Rescue & Sanctuary
Our mission is to rescue and renew long ears who are in need of food, shelter or medical attention. We also care for animals who must be surrendered no matter if it is part of an estate plan or inheritance or due to a sudden unforeseen change of life or illness. With donations we continue to improve and expand the physical area and facility that houses our purple donkeys. As we grow we can take on more animals in need of a temporary or forever home.
You can help these animals by becoming a
VOLUNTEER or making a DONATION
BE A PURPLE HEART DONKEY HERO
Create an online "fundrive" and you and your friends or workmates can help support a donkey for a week, a month or even a year ! Its easy
WHAT IS A DONKEY SANCTUARY ?
Donkeys can live to be 50 years old or more !!!!!
What would happen to your animals if you were to get ill or suddenly pass away ? Our dogs and cats might be placed with family or friends but equine is often a very different story. Donkeys can live longer than horses, thus they too often end up in kill pens if
something happens to their humans.
Have you made plans for your animals if you were to suddenly get ill or pass away ? Most people don't or they think a family member may take them. But situations change and donkeys are especially vulnerable.
Our Sanctuary offers a secure and happy forever home to animals who need to be surrendered due to family emergencies.
If you wish to make arrangements now, please contact our director today and we will arrange a consultation. Please note we cannot give legal advice. info@purpledonkey.org
What is Equine Therapy vs Therapeutic Activities
Purple Donkey Human Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization © 2023 by Purple Donkey Human Rescue. In addition to donkey rescue, our mission is to bring healing to our community by facilitating the connection between humans and the natural world through interaction with the humble donkey. In 2024 we offer
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING and
THERAPEUTIC ACTIVES with our donkeys such as trail walks, volunteer programs and interactive education for children and adults. As we grow and certify our staff and volunteers we have already initiated plans to add licensed therapists who are medical professionals to offer
EQUINE THERAPY to our facility. LEARN MORE
