🔴 NEW RESCUE! 🔴 We have been contacted by the Villajoyosa rescue (Spav La Vila Joiosa) about a donkey abandoned in a ruin in a small village. They don't have facilities for large animals, so they called us for help.
The owner had vanished and his goats and donkeys had been left to starve. This little chap and a couple of chickens were the only survivors.
We were told that he was fed bread by the neighbours and leftovers from a butchery (!) brought once a week by a parent of the disappeared owner.
He needed urgent help.

When we arrived on the premises on Saturday, we found the poor little guy in this hellhole, alone in this dirty pen. He is very thin under his coat. The big belly means his stomach is very swollen, probably because of a worm infestation.

He is now safe at our rescue centre, having plenty of healthy food to recover and gain weight. Our equine vet Dorothea is a bit worried about his stomach and we are monitoring it to be sure there is nothing more serious than worms.

He is around 8 years old and like many of our male rescues, he is entire. It is not a surprise.
He is going to be dewormed and in about two weeks, he is going to get castrated. Then he will be able to join our lovely donkey herd and live surrounded by human and equine friends. ♥

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Spav La Vila Joiosa. Thanks to their great organisation, this rescue operation has been incredibly quick and easy.

A huge thank you too to the Sella townhall and the Guardia Civil from Finestrat for their quick response and their concerns about animal welfare. For legal and safety reasons, it is necessary to have the police or Guardia Civil involved on site to give us proper paperwork to seize and transport the animals.

Any donation to cover the cost of the treatments and castration of this adorable little guy would be hugely appreciated. 🙏
