a safe place where injured donkeys can finally rest and heal

Our partner group, Animal Aid Unlimited (AAU), are currently caring for 17 male donkeys at their sanctuary, along with nine females and one male donkey at their Animal Birth Control (ABC) Centre. In addition, they are providing treatment for two donkeys within their hospital.

Read their latest update to see how your donations are helping injured and rescued donkeys in Udaipur, India: 

Brayden has recovered and is back with his friends in the sanctuary. We are keeping a close eye on his hoof to make sure he doesn't have any more problems.

Veeru and Smokey have both fully healed. They are active and going well.

Our naughty boy, Churro, is finally getting along better with the other donkeys, and is much happier now he has friends! He also sometimes gets wounds on his deformed hoof, but our team is keeping a close eye on this. 

Our female donkeys at the ABC Centre are all happy and healthy now. They recently received pedicure treatments from our farrier! Rita - our oldest female donkey who has a completely missing hoof - got a small cut on the bottom of her foot, but after daily bandaging and care she has healed and is keeping up with the other donkeys. Sandra (who had a wound on her chest) has healed following treatment. 

One little donkey was brought to us by his owner in October, 2025, with infected wounds on his back. After several weeks of treatment he has now fully healed and will be returned to his owner. We will encourage his owner to bring him back again in the future should he ever be injured again.

Another donkey was brought to us by his owner for a complete fracture of his right front leg. After about one month of splinting the fracture and daily medical treatment, the fracture healed well. His owner took him back in last month. We explained his care needs in detail and encouraged the owner to bring him back to us if any other medication was needed.

We rescued a donkey in October, 2025, due to a rectal prolapse that needed urgent surgical intervention. He has recovered well and was returned him to the location where we rescued him. It is likely his owners lived in the area nearby and had simply let him loose to graze. 

Thank you for your generous support, which is allowing AAU to continue rescuing, rehabilitating and healing donkeys in need.
