Tinkerbelle

Our teeny tiny Tinkerbelle arrived here in June 2022, aged around 12. She had been bred but the breeder had got rid of her to a ruthless dealer who just didn’t care. She was underweight and had overgrown hooves. We were told she had been put in a cattle crush to have her feet trimmed,

Teddy

Teddy arrived at HeeHaws with Billy in the first week of January 2021. In contrast to Billy, Teddy was thin and had very overgrown feet. He had lice, worms, and an ulcerated mouth, so much so he could hardly eat.  It took many visits from the vet and Gareth to get Teddy feeling better. Before

Rodney

Rodney was reported to HeeHaws in May 2018 when someone saw him alone in a field, in a terrible state, in desperate need of help. His field was littered with barbed wire, broken glass, and all kinds of dangers for donkeys. He also had ‘Aladdins slipper’ type hooves. He had often been wrestled to the

Princesse

Princesse came to HeeHaws with her sister Duchesse in April 2019 all the way from Normandy!  It was a difficult journey but they made it eventually. Another donkey sanctuary in the UK called Flicka asked if HeeHaws could take them and save them from a terrible end. Flicka were kind enough to fund the transport.

Maggie & Mabel

Darling Maggie and little Mabel arrived at HeeHaws with Betty and Florence in June 2021. Headed for the meat wagon they were intercepted thankfully and came here, to a place of love and safety. Mabel was only 5 when she arrived at HeeHaws, she was such a quiet, sweet soul. It turns out that with

Horace & Hetty

At the beginning of November 2019, we were asked to go to see two donkeys in a field an hour away. Nothing prepared us for what we were about to see and hear. Two lovely ladies who lived opposite the field discovered that not only had the owner died but 3 of his 5 donkeys
