Wally | Donkey

An animal lover became aware of the donkey mares Henriette and Wally via a Facebook post. They were told to leave their home as soon as possible after they had weaned their foals. If necessary, they would be handed over to a slaughterhouse. The animal lover didn't want that to happen, because the tame animals…

Franca | Donkey

In February 2024, we learned about donkeys in need that were being kept in Italy under the most appalling conditions. 59 neglected animals were about to be slaughtered. An Italian animal welfare organization had managed to buy the donkeys at auction, give them the best possible care and find new homes for most of them.…

Tobi | Donkey

In July 2018, the world came crashing down for an animal lover from Lower Austria. She had fulfilled a lifelong dream with her partner and son - a life in agriculture.

Giovanni | Donkey

Giovanni and other donkeys were standing on a site in Italy and were due to be slaughtered.

Lilli | Donkey

"Ladies and gentlemen, due to the separation from my wife and the associated loss of my job, it is unfortunately no longer possible for me to keep my five donkeys." began the cry for help from a man who had lost everything that was dear to him in a very short space of time. He…

Aristide | Donkey

The beautiful donkey gelding Aristide owes his life to a coincidence. And also to our neighbor at Gut Aiderbichl France, who rang the bell at the gate of Gut Aiderbichl France on that rainy day, completely distraught. Excited, he told us that he knew of six animals that were being loaded by the butcher and…

Schoko | Donkey

Schoko and Pico were rescued by animal lovers when they were on their way to the slaughterhouse. From then on, they were cared for with a lot of love and patience at a private sanctuary. However, as the costs continued to rise, but not the income, it became clear that the sanctuary would not be…

Pascal | Donkey

A donkey friend discovered four male donkeys at a dealer. When asked who the previous owners were, the dealer just shrugged his shoulders as if to say: "Why does anyone care?" The dealer was actually right. He was only interested in the weight of the animals. Traces of neglect were also irrelevant. The hooves were…

Happy | Donkey

His life had already been threatened once before. Back then, animal lovers had decided to buy Happy and his 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…

Clara | Donkey

Herold | Donkey

We received an email from the Salzburger Land region. Herold the donkey and Jonathan the pony were looking for a new home. A farmer's wife had the animals around her all her life. At some point she retired and the farm was handed over to the next generation. The cattle farm now became a riding…

Karel | 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…
