Fortunately, due to our Outreach Programme and more and more donkey owners calling us for advice, we haven’t had any abandoned donkeys this year. Now that all donkeys have to be microchipped, we even tracked the owner of a donkey found wandering near the sanctuary!

Consequently, we tend to get donkeys who whose owners no longer want or cannot look after them.

Nigel

Nigel was the most recent arrival. A very handsome stallion about 6 years old, he was in very good condition was collected in November. He was unwanted and had been used for breeding so when he arrived at Vouni, he made sure that all of the girls knew he’d arrived! After a week in Isolation, the inevitable operation was performed and at the time of writing he is getting used to having less testosterone! What a gorgeous boy?

Kypros

Kypros arrived in July as his owner could no longer afford to keep him. He’s about 25 years old and in lovely condition. With a super temperament, he quickly settled in and is a real sweetie! He seems to like posing for the camera too!
