Safety Net Program: Giving Donkeys a Second Chance

Our Safety Net Program offers a compassionate solution for owners facing difficult life circumstances. We accept owner surrenders with no questions asked, ensuring that donkeys are kept out of auctions, away from traders, and far from the risk of being sent to kill buyers.

We understand that sometimes life changes unexpectedly—whether due to old age, death, illness, financial hardship, divorce, relocation, or other challenges. These situations can make it hard for loving owners to continue caring for their donkeys, and many hesitate to reach out for help for fear of judgment. Unfortunately, this fear often causes even more suffering for the animals.

At Turning Point Donkey Rescue (TPDR), we prioritize the well-being of the donkeys and the dignity of their owners. We promise to keep all owner information private and handle each case with the utmost respect and confidentiality. Our program provides a safe landing for donkeys, ensuring they are cared for for the rest of their lives, no matter the circumstances that led to their surrender.

If you need help or know someone who does, our Safety Net Program is here to support you. We’re committed to providing a peaceful and secure future for these beloved animals.
