Longhopes Donkey ShelterDonkeys are buddy animals and usually pair off in twos. They tend to develop strong emotional attachments, somewhat like a friendship, even if they are pastured with several other animals. |

Longhopes Donkey ShelterAs part of our mission, we also believe it is not enough just to save donkeys if we don't ensure them a safe and healthy new home. Therefore, we conduct on-site pre-adoption inspections and we continue to monitor the placement for a full year. Finally years of experience have taught us that donkeys are not horses and are more than just a cheap source of horse-companions. Donkeys need to live with other donkeys. Consequently, we normally only adopt our donkeys in pairs, or as companions to other donkeys. |

Longhopes Donkey ShelterLonghopes believes in recycling healthy donkeys, not breeding. We do not breed or allow jennets to be adopted for breeding. Further, all jacks are castrated before leaving the shelter. An uncastrated jack is not a suitable pet and can be dangerous around other equines. |

Longhopes Donkey ShelterUnfortunately there are more donkeys than good homes. Donkeys are overproduced because people refuse to incur the cost of castration, don't understand that jacks have a better life as geldings or thoughtlessly desire to experience the miracle of life. However, when the donkeys often outlive their owner's interest, finances and physical resources they are subject to the reality of slaughter. |

Longhopes Donkey ShelterThe average donkey remains at the Shelter 6 months and it costs the Shelter approximately $1.92 per day in operating costs. Adoption fees alone are insufficient to operate the shelter. Consequently, donations are appreciated. |

Longhopes Donkey ShelterThe shelter, located in Bennett, Colorado, is a non-profit Colorado corporation and 501(c)(3) federal tax exempt charity. Their goal is to provide permanent homes for donkeys that would otherwise be neglected, abused, or destroyed for meat consumption overseas. |
