TBR Adoption/Sanctuary Programs

Adoption Program
Donkeys made available for adoption have been prescreened for certain qualities including:
        Friendliness towards people
        Ability to accept a halter
        Stand tied
        Lift all four hooves for trimming

These donkeys make great pets and enjoy human companionship.  While the donkeys in our system do not have any specific training, many are suitable for packing, driving and riding.  The donkeys remain titled to Texas Burro Rescue for life, this ensures that our adoptors do not get saddled with excessive vet bills should the donkey become ill or if the adoptors situation changes and they can no longer keep the donkey.

Basic Requirements
        Adequate access to feed and clean water
        Room to roam
        De-worming every three months
        Vaccinations and regular Vet check ups
        Protection from the elements
        Adequate fencing

Sanctuary Program
        Some of the donkeys within our system are not suitable for adoption.  Usually captured wild, these donkeys would prefer large areas to graze and minimal human pressure.  If you have a large large ranch and would enjoy seeing donkeys on your property, becoming a sanctuary might be the ideal choice.
        By taking at least six of TBR's donkeys, you get the enjoyment of donkeys without the headache.  TBR will handle all of the hoof care, worming and medical treatments.  If one of the donkeys become sick or injured, TBR will remove them from your property and replace them with a healthy one.
       
Basic Requirements
        Grazing land (minimum 40 acres)
        Perimeter fencing (well maintained)
        Year round access to water
        Minimum of 6 donkeys
        Donkeys remain the property of TBR and cannot be sold or moved
