This week ...so many thanks to your very valued support ..and our hard work....we were able to fill our hayshed for a few months to help feed our rescue donkeys .
Many have very bad teeth and cannot chew or digest hay.
They must eat soft food similar to muesli...
This is also a very big expense.
Please help us to continue caring for our 32 donkeys....
The photos are 3 of the donkeys as they were when we rescued them ....
you would not recognise them now.

A donation can be made via Bank Transfer or Paypal.

Our very grateful thanks again to
Animal Action Greece for their wonderful support to help us save so many needy donkeys and their yearly Spring visit to our 32 rescued donkeys at our Sanctuary
Two wonderful days...a lot of very hard work.
Every donkey had their hooves cleaned and trimmed by expert Farrier Viaos ...and teeth treated and filed by expert Equine Dentist Alkis, most important for the health of donkeys..with poor teeth they cannot eat well.
Please support this wonderful team who help so many animals .

Our beautiful elderly donkey Erotòkritos left us two days ago.
He died peacefully and without pain..
Erotòkritos has crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈 and will be very sadly missed.
Rescued seven years ago from a small village in the mountains. His elderly owner ill and unable to care for him, but his life here at the Sanctuary was happy and full of love and cuddles with many friends
We thank his supporters 🙏
Rest in peace dear Erotòkritos ❤️
Please resend messages, and photos.
thank you

We'll start putting on fly fringes on needy donkeys, mostly our older ones and donkeys with runny eyes, also due to dust.
