Our Mission

Donkey & Equine Haven has been rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming abused, neglected, and abandoned equine animals since 2009. We do so without regard for age, health, or adoptability. We are 100% volunteer-operated 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, and every dollar donated goes directly to the care of our animals. We fervently believe that every animal deserves a humane, healthy, and loving existence, and a compassionate end. Lack of capacity is the only reason an animal is turned away.

Our Donkey Casino Night Sponsors

We are so grateful to the businesses and organizations who have chosen to support our Donkey Casino Night. Their generous support plays a significant role in making this event possible and helping us provide the care, shelter, and second chances our donkeys deserve.

Please join us in recognizing these exceptional community partners, whose support is helping make a lasting difference for the Haven and the donkeys we serve.

Help Us Give Every Donkey a Safe & Healthy Future

Every donkey who comes through our gates needs care, patience, and a safe place to heal. As our Haven continues to grow, so do the needs of the donkeys we rescue.

Our goal is to raise enough through the Donkey Casino Night to help fund these vital needs and give our donkeys the care, shelter, and second chances they deserve.

🐴 Medical & Wellness

The health of our donkeys comes first. Your support helps provide:

Routine veterinary care
Hoof care and farrier services
Dental care
Deworming and fecal testing
Vaccinations and preventative care
Maternity and foal care
Medications and supplements
Rehabilitation and ongoing medical needs

🚜 Equipment & Essential Supplies

Caring for a herd of donkeys requires equipment that helps us safely and efficiently manage the Haven, including:

Tractors
Trailers capable of transporting 10 bales of hay
Harrow
Side-by-side utility vehicle
Generator
Hoses and water troughs
Stall mats
Fans
Motor and sling for safe handling and lifting

🏡 Infrastructure & Expansion

We want to create a Haven that can safely care for donkeys not only today, but for years to come. Our infrastructure needs include:

Rehabilitation Center — a dedicated space for donkeys recovering from neglect, illness, injury, or malnutrition
Improved drainage
Additional fencing
Two additional intake shelters
Maternity & Foal Ward — a safe, dedicated area for pregnant mares and their foals

💛 Rescue & Intake Programming

Every new arrival requires immediate attention and preventative care. Our intake program helps ensure rescued donkeys receive the care they need from the moment they arrive, including:

Initial vaccinations
Deworming
Fecal testing
Health assessments
Ongoing medical and rehabilitation care

🌾 Day-to-Day Operations

Keeping the Haven running takes resources every single day. Donations help cover:

Supplements

Emergency and rescue funds
Other essential daily operating expenses

Every Donation Makes a Difference

Whether your gift helps provide a bale of hay, a veterinary visit, a new section of fencing, or equipment needed to safely care for our donkeys, every dollar helps us continue our mission.

Thank you for helping us rescue, rehabilitate, and provide a safe haven for donkeys in need.

Together, we can give them more than a place to live—we can give them the safe, healthy, and happy future they deserve.
