What We Do
How we rescue, revitalize, and care for mistreated donkeys at Peaceful Pastures.
How our donkey rescues work:
Bid at Auctions
We bid against traders and kill pen buyers to save donkeys from the abusive and disease-ridden killpen environment.
Rehab and Train
Provide full physical examinations and body condition evaluations of all donkeys received at the rescue. Create individualized plans to meet their nutritional, medical and social needs.
Take them In
Accept any surrenders that need a safe place to land.
Provide Homes
Attempt to find loving homes for those who are adoptable and provide sanctuary to those who are not.
Monitor Kill Pens
Visit and monitor surrounding kill pens to save the most vulnerable donkeys (babies, pregnant females, elderly, and those undesirable for adoption).
Educate
Educate adopting families and the community to help families understand and care for their donkeys.
Community
Create an educated community by teaching the public about the trader industry to gain support for future legislation designed to end the suffering of donkeys.
