Zena's story
We found Zena curled up in the corner of a stable, lying almost motionless in the straw.
Born three weeks premature, Zena's back legs were just too weak to support her, so our staff gave her round-the-clock care to help her suckle from her mum. We gently bandaged her delicate legs, and before long, she was standing by herself.
Now thanks to our supporters, Zena lives a happy and healthy life at our sanctuary in Sidmouth.
How your donation will help
Your support today means a life of sanctuary and expert care for neglected and abandoned donkeys, as well as veterinary treatment and global education to improve donkey welfare.
With your gift of compassion we can be there for those animals toiling in unimaginable conditions around the world, while finding loving forever homes for unwanted and mistreated donkeys living here in the UK.
