Alfie

Location: 
Belfast

Alfie is a lovable donkey whose laid back character and calming nature makes him very popular with everyone he meets.

Originally from County Galway in Ireland, Alfie came into our care in 2010 when he became the 10,873rd donkey to be given a home for life.

He was bred at his home and was relinquished with eight other colts due to his owner having too many donkeys to care for.

Alfie arrived at our donkey assisted therapy centre in Belfast on 14th April 2011 and warmly welcomed HRH The Princess Royal at the Centre’s official open day in June that year.
