Walter is easy to spot with his recognisable brown and white markings and pink nose. In the summertime he needs sun cream on his nose to protect it from the sun. He is gorgeous!

Walter hasn’t always been as confident as he seems. When he arrived at the sanctuary in 2004 he was a nervous, timid donkey. But over the years his confidence has grown. Now Walter enjoys playing with his best friend Timothy in the lovely Devon countryside. He particularly enjoys playing with his food-ball, kicking it about until it releases the treats inside.

Adopt this sweet skewbald donkey today and you’ll be helping donkeys worldwide. Adopting Walter also makes the perfect gift!

Is Walter your perfect match?
