Turning Pointe Donkey Rescue is operated by volunteers who are committed to Donkeys and giving them a second chance, a Turning Pointe, in their lives. 

 

Turning Pointe Donkey Rescue became a reality in October 2004 when an enthusiastic group of people got together and decided that many nice donkeys were unwanted, unappreciated and often found themselves in the meat pen at an auction.

 

We are a Michigan based non profit organization dedicated to the health and welfare of miniature, standard and mammoth donkeys.

 

Our objective is to promote the humane care and proper training of these long ears and to provide the public with a better understanding of their true nature

 

 

Our efforts will be directed towards rescuing donkeys, and the education of perspective and current donkey owners.

 

 

Donkeys come to the Rescue from a variety of difficult situations. They will be matched with the most compatible, compassionate and supportive environment.
