all for the love of

DONKEYS

We are a forever home for the donkeys who have wandered into our lives. Audrey, Burrito, Cinnamon, Huey, Jellybean, Kirby, Milton, Nana-April, Sadie, Tingalayo, and May-the-one-horse. They have changed our lives, making our world bigger and better. They require us to be present every day. Every single day. They are grateful. And we are too.

Our Story

Not Just an
Ordinary Love Story

We married in the summer of 2002. May-the-one-horse was with us on our wedding day - along with 6 goats and a whole bunch of cats. Our wedding guests were offered a jar of our maple syrup or a kitten as their wedding favour. Donkeys were not even a figment of our imaginations.

In 2003, Wally got a phone call from his chiropractor asking if we'd be able to take in a donkey since we already had a horse. A family he knew was selling their goat farm and needed a home for their donkey. We said yes without hesitation. We didn't know why.

Fast forward 22 years, 9 donkeys, and 1 hinny and we are officially in love with the fantastic beasts who have come into our lives. We have learned lots along the way and do the best we can every day to give them all a good home and correct care. It's a journey of love. It's our love story.
