Welcome Hannah and Hazel

Welcome Hannah and Hazel!


We would like to welcome and introduce you all to our two latest donkeys, Hannah and Hazel!

Hannah is the light grey, and slightly taller of the pair, and Hazel is the dark brown. This gorgeous pair have come from a local home in Whitwell, where they have been loved and cared for by their owners. We were asked if we could take these two due to their owners being ill and not feeling that they could give them the care that they deserve, and that they wanted to provide.


These two have been in light quarantine for a short period after they arrived, so that we can be sure they are healthy, and do not have anything that can be passed on to the other donkeys. Once they are all clear, they will most likely start their lives at the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary being introduced to the Weight and See herd, as they have a little extra weight we would like them to lose.



These two are very sweet girls and we know that all of you will love them as much as we already do! Come visit us and meet this adorable new pair!
