Our Mission

The Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge main mission is the care and comforts of the donkeys residing at the Refuge. The Refuge is a permanent home for all donkeys who arrive at our gate and we work very hard to provide a safe and secure home for the resident donkeys. Our second focus is to provide a venue for Private tours for all special needs adults, children and seniors in our community. The tours provide our special visitors with an opportunity to connect with the donkeys and enjoy the healing characteristics of a Donkey Hug in a quiet farm atmosphere. Donkeys love people and enjoy the attention of the visitors as much as the people enjoy the benefits of the Donkey Magic.
