Adopt a Donkey

A great way to support our work is by adopting one of our adorable donkeys here at El Refugio del Burrito. We have eight of our friends available for you to adopt and although you won't be able to take them home with you, you will receive a picture and certificate of your chosen donkey along with regular updates on their progress.

The adoption fee is just 15 EUR per year (minimum). Simply choose which donkey you wish to adopt and then decide how you would like to pay.

An adopted donkey makes a great gift for loved ones or friends and if you supply the dates we will make sure your gift arrives just at the right time. You never need to forget an important anniversary again!
