Dolly. Female. Age 16
Dolly arrived with her daughter Ebony, and previously they had the best lives any donkey could wish for. Sadly their owners’ circumstances changed and they were given to a friend in good faith; unfortunately that didn’t work out and both donkeys were not looked after properly, and their situation was quite dire when they first arrived at the rescue. With a lot of work, good nutrition and veterinary care they are both now in good health and a firm favourite with everyone because they are just the nicest donkeys ever, and due to their dreadful experiences they will stay here in sanctuary forever. Dolly is 16 now, and can be a little greedy and therefore prone to weight gain, (which is tricky as we continue to try to build up Ebony). Dolly has a very distinctive voice and is such a lovable donkey. She is mellowing all the time and everyone falls in love with her beautiful face and molten chocolate eyes!
Sponsoring Dolly costs only £40 for the year, which can be paid in one payment or £4.00 a month direct debit. It’s up to you!
In return you will receive a welcome email, your downloadable Sponsorship Certificate and a digital photo of her, plus a voucher for personal entry to one or all of our open days here at Durham Donkey Rescue for the duration of your sponsorship where you will get the opportunity to meet and hug Dolly and her companions.
Sponsoring Dolly means that you are helping secure her future, in the lifestyle to which she has become accustomed.
A sponsorship makes the ideal gift, and helps one of our lovely donkeys too.
Sponsoring one of our donkeys makes you part of our team. We couldn’t do it without you!
What we do at the rescue relies purely on the dedication and determination of our volunteers and every penny of donations received to ensure the donkeys receive the best care possible.
Your sponsorship makes all of this possible, and brings you into the Durham Donkey rescue family.
Any surplus money accumulated through sponsorship of a particular donkey is then spread amongst the other donkeys so they all share your care!
Durham Donkey Rescue is a registered Charity no. 1201801
You can rehome our donkeys. We only rehome to approved & vetted homes. We only rehome in pairs or in a single to a home that already has a donkey. This enables us to break the cycle of donkeys being on their own. We do not rehome donkeys to become companions for other animals. An adoption fee is payable and terms and conditions apply. This enables us to help more donkeys. If you think you can provide a safe and loving home, please get in touch.
You can volunteer for us if you are interested in becoming part of our Durham Donkey family. You must be over the age of 18. We require help with various aspects of donkey care, DIY & maintenance and more!
