My story

Mossie was found in a dreadful state. His hooves were severely overgrown and he was covered in mud.

Despite all this, his faith in humans hadn’t been lost. When our welfare team found him, he was so friendly and happy to see people - it was heart warming.

Journey to recovery

Safely in our care Mossie started his journey to recovery. Our veterinary nurses began by befriending him and slowly reducing any stress.

We had an agonising wait for the results of an x-ray to see if Mossie could survive after having such long hooves. Luckily we seem to have caught this poor donkey just in time. Any longer and Mossie’s hooves would have been beyond repair.

Mossie is now in our Isolation Unit under the watchful eye of our team of experts where he has been given a health check. Our farrier has already started correcting Mossie’s hooves and our dedicated staff are on hand to give him much love and attention that he has sadly missed in his life.

Make a difference

Mossie’s story is one of many sad cases we investigate and take action. We totally rely on the generosity of the public to continue with our work. Please make a difference by making a donation to help donkeys just like Mossie who are waiting to be rescued.
