More information

 

The Donkey Sanctuary is a UK based charity working worldwide to improve conditions for donkeys and mules. Dr Elisabeth Svendsen MBE, who founded The Donkey Sanctuary, was born in Yorkshire and, although her love of donkeys started at a very early age, it was not until she was married, with a family, and helping her husband to run the Salston Hotel at Ottery St Mary in Devon that she was able to own her first donkey. Slade House Farm was purchased to house the fast growing donkey family. Over the years since then more and more donkeys have been taken into care, and to date over 12,500 have passed through the Donkey Sanctuary's gates in the UK and Ireland.
