ADOPT A DYFI DONKEY

Our Dyfi Donkey ADOPT A DYFI DONKEY scheme helps to cover some of the ongoing costs that our non working donkeys incur just by living. These include recurring vet bills (vaccinations),winter feed ,farrier and dentist costs. It also helps towards any additional unforseen costs.

For a minimum donation of £30 a year you can Adopt a Dyfi Donkey. In return you receive a digital Adopt a Dyfi Donkey Certificate, a digital photo collection of your chosen donkey,  digital Christmas card and  newsletters letting you know exactly what's going on at the Dyfi Donkeys. You also get the chance to come and visit your donkey to say hi - you just need to call to book.

Click for Application form and return to us at  dyfidonkeys@btinternet.com marking your mail Adopt a Dyfi Donkey.

Donkeys to choose from are : 





Seren - our female 10yr old half Poitou donkey- half sister to Dylan. Seren has a sarcoid on her ear which needs regular attention we are treating naturally but herbs and essentials oils for can be expensive

 Dylan - our male 10yr old half Poitou donkey , half brother to Seren











Spot - our retired donkey
Since 2011 our oldest donkey Spot has been retired from active beach donkey duties. As Spot is an older donkey he often has additional health needs which incur vet costs.

Twister - a retired beach donkey. Twister suffers from pain in his lower back , maybe as a result of carrying too much weight when he was still physically developing before he came to Dyfi Donkeys. He benefits from massage therapy and Reiki.

  Donkeys live in a family group or herds and often bond with one of the members of that herd really closely. NO matter what the health issues of our donkeys are we will always allow them to remain here in Dyfi Donkey Wood with their family/herd. 






All the donkeys have regular health needs  ~:
Annual vaccinations are approx £40 per donkey
Annual dental checks are betwwen £35 and £50 per donkey
Hoof trimming every 9 weeks is £30 per donkeys

Then there is feed, hay and straw too.

Adopting one of the Dyfi Donkeys is a great way of returning some of the unconditional love you may have experienced from our donkeys and helps us keep them healthy and happy.
