Paul | Donkey

Donkey Olympe, Paul's mother, was rescued at the last minute by animal lovers. She arrived at Gut Aiderbichl in a terrible condition: she was completely neglected and her hooves in particular were in a catastrophic state. She would have been sent to the slaughterhouse, even though she could barely walk a step and was already…

Felix | Donkey

A particularly committed animal rights activist had to give up her dream of owning her own sanctuary. She had been in dispute with her landlord for some time, who finally terminated her lease. Through a lot of hard work and a long search, she was able to find a new home for the majority of…

Sunny | Donkey

Sunny was born on 07.10.2024 - under the protection of Gut Aiderbichl. We are very grateful that she is with us. Fortunately, she knows nothing of the danger she and her mother Simona were once in. In February 2024, we learned about a group of donkeys that were being kept in Italy in the most…

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. But fate did not mean well: his owner became ill and was no longer able to provide her beloved donkey gelding with species-appropriate and comprehensive care. She…

Olympe | Donkey

Two Aiderbichler women came across the 10-year-old donkey Olympe and her foal Mona by chance while visiting a farmer. They were completely neglected and, above all, their hooves were in a catastrophic condition. Olympe could barely take a step, she was literally buckling and every step was painful. The owner gave the Aiderbichlers an ultimatum.…

Sally | Donkey

The birth of little Sally was our Christmas present for 2019. We waited a long time for her arrival. Her mother Lucy was taken in a few weeks earlier, together with four other donkeys at Gut Aiderbichl Ballermann Ranch. "Ladies and gentlemen, due to the separation from my wife and the associated loss of my…

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…

Roxy | Donkey

The Mohrenkopf-Noriker mares Donna and Saphira and the donkey mare Roxy had to be sold due to space and time constraints, but were to remain together and not be bred. These conditions were not met and the former owner bought the animals back. A friend took the animals in, but they could not be cared…

Andi_Andante | Donkey

During filming on the endangered Baroque donkeys, we learned of a particularly sad donkey's fate. The lease for the property on which an animal lover kept two Baroque donkey mares and a foal had been terminated. No place could be found quickly where the three donkeys could continue to live together. In the end, the…

Sam | Donkey

Sam had already been in great distress once before and was rescued by animal lovers at the last minute. With a lot of love and patience, he and other animals of his kind were then cared for at a private sanctuary. But as the costs continued to rise, but not the income, it became clear…

Hansi | Donkey

Thanks to the animal rescue team at Sternenhof, Olivia the donkey mare was saved from her undignified living conditions. Together with her daughter Consi, she found shelter, food, and lots of love here. What no one knew was that Olivia was pregnant—and on June 20, 2010, the beautiful little donkey Hansi was born. Even as…

Tina | Donkey

When Tina came to us, together with Moritz, she was pregnant with little Donna Anna. An animal lover had bought the donkeys free and then asked us for help. For us, it was the first time we were able to see a donkey become a mother. Nature makes the same hormone available to animal mothers…
