Severn Valley Rescue
Donkey Sanctuary & Dog Rescue Shropshire

We first started our rescue in 2008 as Shropshire Donkey Rescue, then we were known as Donkey Rescue UK before eventually settling on our current name. Our first official rescue was a donkey called “One Eyed Jack” and as his name suggests – he only has one eye. We have since took in many animals with disabilities, including a deaf pig, several three legged cats, a one eyed alpaca, ponies with lumps and bumps and most recently a blind donkey called Mr Bump. We believe that as long as an animal is happy and pain free, they deserve a chance. We even have a very rare Zonkey called Zee – her mum is a zebra and her dad is a donkey!

We are a very small charity and cannot currently afford to adapt our premises to open to the public, but our dream is to one day raise enough money to open our doors so people can come and see our lovely animals.

We really hope that you will support our charity, and get involved in the work we do. Every day is a challenge, and our four legged friends will forever be our top priority.

Donkey Parties – We are happy to bring our Donkeys to you, perfect for events and birthdays.

If you have an event, celebration, party or fete coming up and you would like us to bring some of our donkeys, please get in touch. We do not have riding donkeys, but our miniature donkeys are happy to walk into residential / nursing homes, or they can stay outside. They are also wonderful at Easter or Christmas events, or just as a birthday surprise.

We can also provide Miniature Unicorns to come to your pony party or event. They make a great feature at special occasions, or they are happy to be dressed up if you’d like to do a pony/unicorn transformation.
