donkeys
Abraham at Donkey Kindness Club, Ethiopia The Donkey Sanctuary
When donkeys are kept in the UK, on lush, wet pasture, their feet easily become soft and more crumbly. They quite frequently get foot diseases with this such as thrush, abscesses and seedy toe. Diseases and problems of the feet are all too common in donkeys. However, daily proper care and attention can help minimise and prevent these problems all together.
Owning a donkey can be one of the most rewarding experiences, as so many people can testify. The Donkey Sanctuary is widely known and highly respected as the world’s leading expert in donkeys and their care. The dedicated and expert welfare and veterinary team members are available for advice and there is a whole library of informative articles hosted on
the Sanctuary’s website.
The Donkey Sanctuary was founded by the late Dr Elisabeth Svendsen M.B.E. in 1969. It supports projects to alleviate the suffering of donkeys in 35 countries worldwide, including sanctuaries across Europe, where more than 18,800 donkeys and mules have been cared for, and major projects in Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Kenya and Mexico, where donkey welfare is improved through community education and veterinary work. It also provides donkey assisted interaction sessions for vulnerable children and adults and carries out visits to care homes in the local community from its centres in Belfast, Birmingham, Ivybridge, Leeds, Manchester and Sidmouth.
