Adoption Central

Peaceful Valley is Going National! Donkey abuse, neglect and abandonment is on the rise across the country. At Peaceful Valley, we realize that the only real solution is through education of the public, training existing owners and creating a network of caring people throughout the United States.

Adopting A Donkey

Adopting a donkey is a serious commitment and one that should not be taken lightly. Donkeys have very different needs than does a horse and they can live over 40 years.
The Peaceful Valley Adoption program is very different than the BLM's Adopt a Wild Burro Program because all of our donkeys are not wild. Our available donkeys have been trained to accept a halter, stand tied and pick up all four hooves for trimming.

Becoming a Satellite Adoption Center

Peaceful Valley is currently seeking individuals who have the time and resources to host a Satellite Adoption Center. These SAC's are usually placed in areas where quality homes can be found for our donkeys. An SAC operator agrees to care for as many as 6 Peaceful Valley Donkeys and handle all of our adoption procedures. Peaceful Valley covers all associated costs, you supply the time, labor and love.

Donating Land

Peaceful Valley's National Plan requires the addition of Sanctuary and Ranch facilities throughout the United States. These facilities are constructed and operated by Peaceful Valley paid staff. If you have land that is not being used and would consider donating or signing a low-cost lease agreement with the rescue please contact Mark Meyers at mark@donkeyrescue.org

"Many people look upon the horse as a magnificent and noble creature. I always figured they had never had the pleasure of looking into a donkey's eye".
