Zena’s start in life was tough. Born three weeks early she suffered from paralysis in her back legs. We weren’t sure what her future was going to look like. After a lot of veterinary care, love and late night bottle-feeds, Zena overcame the odds and is now a beautiful young donkey full of life!
There are no signs of her early difficulties when she is tearing around her paddock with her friends Mr Khan and Ashley who she’s known since she was a young foal.
Adopt Zena today to help fund vital veterinary care for donkeys worldwide!

The first few moments of Ashley’s life were incredibly sad. His mother died when giving birth leaving poor Ashley behind. For the first few months of his life, staff and volunteers came to Ashley’s aid and bottle-fed him day and night. We knew from the very start that Ashley was a determined little soul.
Now you could not find another donkey who loves life more. This young, energetic donkey knows how to have fun. You will often find him playing with his best friends Mr Khan and Zena who have all grown up together at the sanctuary. There really is no stopping him now.
Be a part of Ashley’s family by adopting him today or introduce him to a loved one as a unique gift.
Adoption donkeys, Ashley and Zena, and their herd of young donkey friends live at Shelter 4.
Watch them as they play on their yard and in their paddock. Can you spot Ashley? Perhaps you'll see fluffy Zena or Ashley’s double, Mr Khan.
There are some lovely characters at this Shelter who are guaranteed to entertain. Enjoy!
