Donkey and Mule Rescue Groups

When Jayne and I began looking for donkeys, we started our search with rescue groups. It is our belief that many wonderful animals -- dogs, cats, and, yes, equines find themselves in shelters and are in need of loving homes. Our cats and dog are all rescues. So, the search was on for an equine rescue group within reasonable driving distance of northern New Hampshire. We wanted a group close-by because neither Jayne nor I had raised an equine before and believed we would need to learn more about them, meet them, and spend lots of quality time with them prior to their arrival. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a group in or near New Hampshire at the time we were searching. Hence, we visited a breeder in Vermont and purchased our two boys. Since that time, we have stumbled across a wonderful rescue organization in southern New Hampshire called, Save Your Ass Long Ear Rescue. If you're not in New England and want to meet a donkey or a mule, take the time to find a rescue organization in your area; they'd be happy to show you their animals, and if you have the time, give them a hand by volunteering. Volunteering not only helps these organizations, but also teaches you about these wonderful animals.

Happy Brays!
