All of our UK sanctuaries are temporarily closed until further notice. See our FAQs.
Shelter 1 is home to a group of very friendly donkeys who support events and education here at the Sanctuary.
It’s also where you’ll find adoption donkeys Cocoa and Hannah. The fabulous pair were part of a team of donkeys who helped children with additional needs in Manchester, and are now enjoying their retirement in this glorious setting.
Looking for Timothy and Walter?
Walter has been diagnosed with a condition similar to asthma in people. This means we have moved him and his best friend Timothy to a new shelter that will help us manage his needs a lot better. See what they're getting up to on the Shelter 2 webcam.

It is safe to say that Hannah is the most enchanting of all our adoption donkeys. With her bright white coast and gorgeous long ears, she really is a gorgeous donkey.
Hannah lives in Sidmouth with her special friend and fellow adoption donkey, Cocoa, who will do absolutely anything for her.
She loves playing with wellies and always encouraging the other donkeys to get involved!
Did you know, by adopting Hannah today, for yourself or as a unique gift, you will be helping to care for donkeys worldwide?
Sidmouth
Cocoa is a sweet, calm donkey who is always putting others before himself. Now in his golden years he is enjoying life in the glorious Devon countryside. He spends his days with his special friend Hannah, always making sure she is safe and happy.
But Cocoa also knows how to have fun! When his friends are wearing their winter rugs Cocoa loves to try and pull them off.
Adopt this sweet, calm donkey today. Or do you know someone like Cocoa? Adopting him would be the perfect gift for your loved one.
