Bernie the self-confident donkey has found happiness at Gut Aiderbichl. But things almost turned out differently, because his owner wanted him off the farm. He contacted "Noah's Ark" in Graz, which has a long-standing friendship with Gut Aiderbichl. We were able to help and Bernie became an Aiderbichler. It's unthinkable what would have happened if the owner had opted for a dealer. Bernie is no longer burdened by his past. He spends a quiet life at Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf. Here he has many animal keepers who treat him with respect and love and have taken Bernie to their hearts.

Paul | Donkey

Donkey Olympe, Paul's mother, was rescued at the last minute by animal lovers.

Herbert | Donkey

Beautiful Herbert with his faithful eyes came to us in December 2019. His owner always looked after him with lots of love and care. He wanted for nothing.

Dominik | Donkey

A donkey friend discovered four donkey stallions at a dealer. When asked who their previous owners were, he just shrugged his shoulders as if to say: "Why does anyone care?". He was probably right. For a trader, the weight is interesting because the value of a slaughter animal is measured in kilos. It doesn't matter…
