One of our Gorgeous rescue donkeys, Honey, was very sadly attacked by what we and the vets believe to be a large dog in what was supposed to be her sanctuary, her forever home.

She was surrounded by stock fencing, electrical fence tape yet the attack still took place.

It is safe to say we are distraught with the outcome of Honey’s cardiovascular system shutting down due to septic shock. This meant that even the euthanasia process was a struggle, as her heart wasn’t strong enough to pump the drug through her body.

She spent her final hours separated from her 10 rescue sisters with only her best friend and keepers for comfort.

Fortunately, Honey’s kind, warm nature meant she was the only victim as she stood to protect her sisters, which just hurts my heart even more as it says everything about her character.

We are in utter disbelief that someone could allow their animal to act in this way and not report it, had we known sooner this could have been a very different outcome. Even if intense rehabilitation stood in our way.

As a result of two emergency vet call outs, pain killers, antibiotics, an antiseptic wash and 3 rounds of euthanasia we are now facing a £1000+ veterinary bill which is why we are here, calling for your help in this difficult time.

We are not deluded; we understand there is a cost-of-living crisis and very few of us are able to donate however even something as small as £1 could help us reach our goal should we reach a wide enough audience.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you in advance should you be able to donate to help in giving our angel her wings.

Sincerely,

Ben & Luke; PR Donkeys.
