Welcome To Donkey Rescue UK
At Donkey Rescue UK, is a Shropshire based Donkey Sanctuary formerly known as Shropshire Donkey Rescue, we take in many abused, unwanted and miss-treated donkeys, they come from anywhere in the world and we currently have donkeys living with us who have travelled from Bulgaria and Romania, as well as many more from closer to home.
Donkey Rescue UK welcomes volunteers, and is always desperately in need of help with fundraising. Schools, groups or organisations are encouraged to help with fundraising by holding sponsored walks, coffee mornings, parties, raffles, auctions, car boot stalls, cake stalls etc.
You can help us right now by making a donation or sponsoring a donkey. Businesses can help too, we welcome any Corporate Sponsor, any business that sponsors a donkey or makes a donation will be featured on our Corporate Sponsors Page
We need your help, so we can continue to help the donkeys. Read our About Us page to find out more about Donkey Rescue UK. Why not visit our Gallery to see our donkeys at work, rest and play, every picture tells a story ?
Sometimes despite all our efforts we have to say goodbye to some of our donkeys. By the time we are able to get to and assist them they are too weak or their suffering has been too severe. Please take a moment to read about our donkeys who are Gone But Not Forgotten
Here at Donkey Rescue UK we like to use the gentle nature of our donkeys to benefit those who need it most.
Thank you for taking the time to visit us.
