I’m delighted to share some joyful moments from the Sanctuary with you this week. Above you’ll see our lovely Burnie striking a pose for the camera – and below, a collection of photos we hope will make you smile.
From pampering grooming sessions to best friends side by side, from juicy treats to curious noses peeking into the lens – our donkeys are full of character and joy.
And it’s all thanks to you. Your kind donations ensure the donkeys are safe, healthy, and cared for every single day. We’re so grateful for your support.

Moussa has the lucky task of grooming our donkeys at the sanctuary. Here you can see Moussa using a curry comb. The circular motion not only loosens dirt and sheds old hair, but it also gives a soothing massage.

Be’eri and Fabian are best friends. Donkeys are very social animals, finding comfort in each other’s company, with strong social bonds reducing stress and helping donkeys feel safe and secure.

Our donkeys do love a tasty treat! Our staff are always thinking of innovative ways to introduce enrichment too. Here you can see the donkeys tucking into bunches of juicy grapes, strung up in a row so they can pick their own snacks!

Our donkeys never miss a thing! When the camera comes out there are always lots of inquisitive noses – we hope you like this selection of photos.

Every day at the sanctuary, we see just how happy and healthy our donkeys are – whether they’re sharing treats, enjoying a pamper, or simply spending time with their friends. It’s only possible because of you.
Thank you ♥️♥️
Thanks to you, our rescue at our sanctuaries in Israel and the West Bank receive the daily care they deserve. Your generosity also supports our vet teams, who work tirelessly to help working donkeys, mules, and horses across the West Bank, Gaza, and Egypt. None of this would be possible without you.
Thank you for making this vital work possible.
Your support helps us care for thousands of donkeys, mules and horses every month. Thank you.
