Providing sanctuary for life to any donkey or mule in need

Welcome to the Donkey Sanctuary (Cyprus) website

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site, learn about our work and, of course, learn about donkeys! I do hope you enjoy the site and will be able to support the work we do here in Cyprus.

We have tried to make the site as easy as possible to navigate. On the left hand side you will find all the information relating to our work and on the right, ways that you can help us. Your visit to this site means a lot to me and if you can make a small donation before you leave it really will make such a difference to our work. We rely almost entirely on donations to care for our 120+ donkeys and to help many other donkeys in Cyprus.

If you have any suggestions for improving this site or do not find what you are looking for, please leave a comment for us as we need all the feedback and help we can get.

If you would like to keep up to date with work at Donkey Sanctuary (Cyprus), please follow my manager updates.

Once again thanks for visiting.

Lucky Glenn Submitted by Evi Stefanou on Thu, 03/06/2010 - 12:30 Farm update You’ve probably read the story of Glenn who was abandoned and left to die (Emaciated and covered in Cuts and Scrapes). Well, we thought you would like to see a photograph of him now compared to the condition he was in when we found him. Glenn still receives extra feed which has been softened for him to eat due to the fact he has few teeth and the ones he has are all over the place. His skin condition is much better and he only has a few areas where there is little hair. As it seems to be an immune system problem, he occasionally gets a little outbreak of flaky skin and we then give him some medication to help clear it up as best as possible. » Read more
Help is on its way! Outreach We often get calls from donkey owners whose animals have a health problem. We try and find out as much information as possible and on this occassion the donkey was very lame. We went with our vet to have a look and sure enough, the donkey had a very painful foot abcess. Poor thing was standing with his foot in the air. » Read more		Adoption saves Markos from being shot Rescue A young woman, who lives in the village of Agios Ioannis Agros, contacted us as she had heard that a donkey owner was going to shoot or abandon his donkey as he could no longer look after it. She told the owner about the sanctuary and he then rang us to ask if we would take the donkey. On 9th June 2010 we went to collect Markos. The owner didn’t really want to shoot or abandon Markos – it was just that he couldn’t afford or manage to look after him anymore and thought he had no other option. » Read more
