The Donkey Sanctuary's aim is to be ever more proactive and to reduce the need for 'rescue' by improving the welfare of donkeys wherever they live. This includes the requirement for increased collaboration with international organizations as well as educating donkey owners to take care of their animals. The result will be a legacy of good on-the-ground welfare for donkeys everywhere.

Our activities have expanded well beyond the 'rescue' model. Across the globe we now provide donkey welfare education, outreach programs, and donkey-assisted therapy sessions for children and adults with additional needs. We also lobby governments and work with communities and organizations to improve the life of working donkeys.

Peaceful Valley's Mission is to provide a safe and loving environment to all donkeys that have been abused, neglected or abandoned and wild burros under threat of destruction. Strives to provide solutions to the many problems that plague these wonderful creatures by providing ethical stewardship over the funds that are necessary to fulfill this goal. With its nationwide network of Ranch Facilities and Satellite Adoption Centers, is the country's leader in Rescue, Sanctuary, Adoption and Education. Together, we can improve the Plight of the American Donkey. 662 donkeys were rescued ion 2021. There are many friendly donkeys available for adoption.
