When you choose to sponsor a donkey or mule at the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada, you help to provide vital, year-round care.
When you choose to symbolically sponsor a donkey, mule, or hinny, whether on your own behalf or as a gift for someone else, you help to make a life better. Sponsorships are $10/month or $75 per year, and your support buys food, medicine, vet and farrier treatment, shelters and fencing, education and training and much more.
Included in your sponsorship (note: if this is a gift, we’ll send all of this to your gift recipient):
Important: Once we receive your sponsorship form and payment, it should take roughly two weeks to process the order, assemble the kit and mail it out to you. Unfortunately, actual mailing time is beyond our control and determined by Canada Post.
Sponsorships last for a period of one year. We will send a note to inquire if you would like to renew your sponsorship before it expires, though! So if you choose, you can keep supporting your sponsor donkey or mule.
Yes absolutely! There is a spot on the form where you may indicate whether the sponsorship is for you or for someone else. This is a very popular option!
Yes, absolutely you may sponsor a different donkey. We are grateful for your support.
Your sponsorship will help to pay for shelter, nutrition, vet care and farrier care for your chosen donkey. We couldn’t do this work without you.
Generally it takes about two weeks from the time we receive your sponsorship form and payment, assembling your sponsor kit and mailing it out via Canada Post. Actual mailing time is beyond our control and determined by Canada Post.
During really busy seasons (like the December holiday season), it’s best to give as much lead time as possible if you are considering a gift sponsorship.
The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada is a not-for-profit licensed charity. Our mission is to provide a lifelong home to donkeys, mules and hinnies that are unwanted, neglected or abused and we promote the responsible stewardship of all animals through humane education. We envision a world in which the dignity and worth of all creatures are recognized and respected.
As we come together for this holiday season, we’re reminded of the simple joys of being home
Volunteering at the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada is a rewarding experience. Plus, donkeys!
