Would you like to adopt a donkey?

Sound like a good idea? Perhaps it’s something you’ve always fancied doing as a gift to yourself or maybe a present to that someone special. Well, now’s your chance…sponsor a donkey today.

How do I adopt a donkey?

To adopt a donkey just click through to the donkey adoption page and choose if you’d like a bronze, silver or gold adoption.  You can adopt a donkey for yourself or for someone special and we’ll also send a special gift message along with your cuddly donkey in your adoption pack.

Your donkey adoption will last 12 months, and 10% of the profits will help raise money for our conservation partners. So you can feel all ‘fuzzy’ inside about your wonderful gift.

Schools and group organisations can also purchase our adoption packages. Please call the office on 01834 812731 to make arrangements.

 

Need to know

We only send our adoption packs to addresses with a UK postcode and the cost of postage is included in the price of an adoption.

 

As a personalised product, animal adoption packs are non-refundable, non-exchangeable and not for resale. If your gift pack arrives damaged, if there is a mistake on the adoption certificate or if the wrong item has been sent, then please email us photos and we’ll send a replacement item.

Our adoptions last 12 months and are for the species rather than a specific, named animal.

"Ordering the adoption pack was really simple and arrived really quickly. An excellent pack with a really cute cuddly toy. Purchased as a gift and loved by the recipient."

Claire Squires, Merthyr Tydfil, 14 February 2024

"Picked folly farm this year as closer to home than the donkey sanctuary like I did last year. Was very disappointed when the pack come it was very basic and seemed very child like. I understand these can be given to children but are also advertised for adults. Glad I donkey have the money."
