Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue

Our Donkey Rescue Mission

Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue (PPDR) was founded to help prevent cruelty inflicted upon donkeys. Primarily focusing on donkeys in the United States, PPDR takes in abused, neglected, malnourished, ill and elderly donkeys and provides them medical, nutritional and emotional rehabilitation with the plan to later adopt them to carefully vetted loving homes. We also focus our efforts on educating the public regarding the plight of donkeys worldwide in order to bring about change in perception and treatment.
