I was down at Paccombe Farm last week looking for a cheeky little donkey story for a national magazine. I met Frosty and caught her little antics on video. Thought I'd share it with you.

Frosty is 32 years of age and lives with our 'oldies' group on the farm and has been living here at the Sanctuary since 2003 when she was relinquished into our care.

Donkeys arrive at the Sanctuary in search of a new home on a weekly basis, but in November 2009 we were surprised to hear that a group of 18 donkeys was on its way to Devon after being rescued from neglect in Yorkshire.

I'm delighted to bring you the latest film clip of our adorable Ashley!

Ashley was sadly orphaned at birth and thanks to the dedication of staff caring for him, and the company of the donkeys he now lives with, he is growing from strength to strength.

Do you remember the plight of Laurel, Hardy and Tim and their rescue from terrible conditions back in July 2009? Having spent over six months being nursed back to health by the staff at our holding base in Buxton, Derbyshire, the trio have arrived and would love to meet you here at the Sanctuary when you next visit.

Here at The Donkey Sanctuary we aim to prevent cruelty and suffering among donkeys and mules anywhere in the world and to ensure their welfare needs come first, second and third.

This newly released DVD narrated by our founder, Dr Elisabeth Svendsen, has been produced to commemorate the Sanctuary's 40th anniversary to help raise awareness of our work.
