How Do I Adopt A Donkey?
|
These are the steps that you should follow to begin a relationship with your special new donkey First - Fill out necessary paperwork
Read over the following criteria regarding care and placement of a donkey. The necessary forms are also available at the bottom of this page. |
The following criteria must be met before an adoption is approved.
 |
Donkeys must be provided with a safe and sturdily fenced area along with a dry shelter for protection from the elements. Donkeys require clean, mold-free hay and a constant source of fresh, clean, unfrozen water. |
|
Required healthcare includes current vaccinations and Coggins and proper hoof care and trimming. (All donkeys receive current vaccinations, Coggins and a visit from the farrier before they are placed in adoptive homes. Males are also neutered.) |
|
All donkeys must have an equine companion such as a horse, donkey or mule, at their adoptive home. |
|
No animal will be adopted out for breeding purposes, all jacks are gelded prior to becoming adoptable |
|
Turning Pointe Donkey Rescue has the right to visit the donkey(s) and to monitor the placement. If the adoption is deemed incompatible or unsuitable for any reason, Turning Pointe Donkey Rescue shall have the right to cancel the adoption and refund the adoption fee. |
|
The adoptee agrees not to sell or transfer the donkey(s) without giving Turning Pointe Donkey Rescue the first right/option to repurchase the donkey(s). |
Our adoption fee is normally $650.00, although occasionally a donkey may be priced a bit lower. The fee could also be adjusted upward depending on the training to ride/and or drive that animal has had while here. The adoption fee covers all vaccines, farrier work, current coggins, registration fee and castration.
