Donkey Herbert

Lucy | Donkey

When we received a call for help from an animal friend, his situation made our hearts ache. He told us that he had lost everything that was dear to him in a very short space of time. He wanted a good home for his animals, whose care he could no longer afford - he had…

Seppi | Donkey

One phone call can often change a whole life. This was the experience of the well-behaved and loving donkey gelding Seppi. An animal lover who had packed up her tents in Bavaria and wanted to return to her home country asked to take him in. The neighbor would keep him very badly. Alone, with two…

Donna | Donkey

This or something similar is how many animal stories begin for us: For health or age-related reasons, the owners can no longer look after their pet and have to give it up. The story is all the more surprising when the four-legged friend is still very young. It can often be concluded that an animal…

Lotta | Donkey

Her life had already been threatened once before. Back then, animal lovers had decided to buy Lotta and her fellow sufferers free and take them in. Now, in 2025, the authorities became aware of the farm and discovered that the animals had been seriously neglected. The animal owner had completely overextended himself and was no…

Gerrit | Donkey

When a very animal-loving young woman discovered a total of 7 donkeys on the internet, she couldn't look away. She was too moved by the fate of Martin, Gerrit, Robin, Gregor, Karel, Jessy and Nadja, who had simply been discarded and were about to be slaughtered. Because she desperately wanted to save the innocent gray…

Francesco | Donkey

Francesco and other donkeys were standing on a site in Italy and were due to be slaughtered. An animal welfare organization stepped in and wanted to rescue the donkeys from this unfortunate situation and save them from death. Gut Aiderbichl agreed to take in donkeys too, and handsome Francesco is one of them. He spends…

Noldi | Donkey

Swiss animal lovers contacted us with concern. They had read in the newspaper about a donkey that was to die because it was blind. Michael Aufhauser contacted the owner, a foundation for people with disabilities. They were happy when we offered to bring Noldi to Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf. For fear of not doing the blind…

Willi | Donkey

Willi and his buddy Benny were already in distress in 2005. They were not being kept well by their owners and were in a bad way. An Aiderbichler woman became aware of them and managed to rescue them from their predicament. From then on, she lovingly looked after Benny and Willi. They were to want…

Peterle | Donkey

There was a special top prize in a raffle: a live donkey! An animal lover who took part in the raffle bought Peterle at auction because he wanted to spare the young donkey an uncertain fate. He was able to keep Peterle on a mountain pasture during the summer, but in the fall there was…

August | Donkey

An animal lover contacted us. She was close to tears when she told us her story. A few years ago, she had rescued two donkeys from the slaughterhouse and placed them with her parents-in-law. She lovingly looked after August and Pedro and did everything she could to ensure that they wanted for nothing. But over…

Odysseus | Donkey

The beautiful black donkey Odysseus did not know what was happening to him in 2009. Suddenly he found himself in a dealer's stable and was to be taken to Italy to be slaughtered. An employee of Gut Aiderbichl found him there and bought him back. She begged Michael Aufhauser to bring Odysseus to Gut Aiderbichl.…

Charly Kovac | Donkey

Thanks to the intervention of the veterinary office, Sissi and Franz were able to come to Gut Aiderbichl Iffeldorf. They lived in a dark stable with no fresh air, no sun and no opportunity to run in the meadow. The unkindness of the owners was also evident in the fact that the animals had no…
