senior burro urgent care needed
Donation protected
The majority of our burros were already elders when rescued from being shot by the national park rangers at Death Valley National Park in 2000.
Now, 15 years later, they are all approaching 35-40 years old. Other rescued burros have lived as BLM adotped burros till their lives changed for whatever reasons and then came here for sanctuary. Many have been abused as roping burros for rodeo practice.
These burros are unadoptable so they need the Wild Burro Rescue sanctuary to live out the remainder of their lives well cared for in a loving environment where they are treated with the kindness and respect they deserve. Many like Chyrstal, Sundown, Billy and Poppy (pictured here) can no longer eat hay so they depend 100% on equine senior, oats and supplements to survive. They are removed from the larger groups and given a corral and shelter of their own where their extra special diet can be provided, To watch then come back from the brink of death to health is a wonderful reward for those of us who care for them. We can only do this with your help.
Although we are not a horse rescue, some cases cannot be ignored if we are to sleep at night and live with ourselves if we do not provide care and sanctuary in a life and death situation to ANY elder equine in crisis.
Many horses and mules come to us in a sad and desperate state of starvation. Hay alone cannot bring them back. This special diet is a lifetime need that gives them a high quality life for many more years of happiness and love.
please help us make their golden years truly golden.
Special care and shelters make this a reality.
We receive NO government funding, have no paid staff, we are all volunteers. The burros depend on people like you for their future.
Below is our monthly budget. Your help in any capacity is greatly appreciated! Please help us reach our monthly goal by a regular contribution for over-all expenses or in specific categories of your choosing.
Thank you from all of us here at the sanctuary and especially from our elder burros!
