A selection of our success stories
After a long time chasing this donkey around the hillsides of Torrox and Competa we were finally able to get him safely into the sanctuary. Luckily our vet recognised him and contacted his owner. We wouldn't release the donkey back to his owner until he had microchipped him as this lovely donkey is a repeat offender when it comes to running away!
Estrella who we rescued from a cliff side road in Granada province has completed the first stage of her rehabiliation here at the nerja donkey sanctuary and has been transported to our sister charity SEPE.
Branston. What can we say about Branston..! Branston has returned home after his successful spell of donkey training. As recent visitors to the sanctuary will know Branston was always in a pickle, regularly managing to bite our volunteers and the odd visitor!

Thanks also to her new owners who kindly settled her vets bills too.

He is a lively medium sized dog who loves to play fetch and tug of war. He would make a great pet for anyone who has some time to devote to training him. He is still a puppy, at only 8 months old and so would benefit greatly from this. Homed - Sept 07 in Motril Granada province |

Zero is a lovely
little, Spanish Jack Russell type puppy. He is currently being
fostered and as such is well trained. Full of energy and with a
good nature.
