Urgent blood transfusion improves chances for orphaned foal
PRESS RELEASE from The Donkey Sanctuary
14 September 2012
A four-day-old, orphaned donkey foal in urgent need of a blood transfusion has this week been taken in by The Donkey Sanctuary in order to ensure her survival.
Coco was born on Sunday 9th September, and was orphaned at just two-days old when her mother, who had been unwell during the pregnancy, sadly passed away. As well as the loss of her mother, Coco was also suffering from the lack of antibodies she would have been getting from her mother’s milk, leaving her in urgent need of a blood transfusion to strengthen her immune system.
Knowing that Coco would now need specialist care, her Shropshire owners called The Donkey Sanctuary for help, and she was moved to the Three Counties Equine Hospital in Gloucestershire, where staff working in conjunction with The Donkey Sanctuary’s veterinary team carried out an urgent plasma transfusion to increase the antibodies in Coco’s blood, and help her immune system to strengthen. Tests will be carried out over the next few days to determine whether Coco will need further transfusions.
Emma Gill, PR Officer for The Donkey Sanctuary, visited Coco at the hospital the day after she came into the care of The Donkey Sanctuary:
“It must have been a very difficult decision for the owners, having just lost Coco’s mother, to also part with this adorable young foal to secure her future, but we are glad that we’re able to give her all the specialist care she needs. Our vets advise me that Coco is doing very well considering the amount she has already had to deal with in her short life, and they are hopeful that tests will show that her blood transfusion has been a success. In the meantime, Coco is having three-hourly feeds to help her build her strength up, drinking from a bucket as she was struggling to drink from a bottle. She has even surprised vets by having the energy to trot around exploring the hospital’s paddock less than 24 hours after her transfusion.”
For free, expert advice for anyone experiencing difficulties in caring for their donkeys, please visit www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk.
All of the donkeys taken in, including Coco, now have a sanctuary for life with The Donkey Sanctuary. The charity is funded entirely by donations and takes in an average of eight donkeys each week throughout the UK and Ireland. Call 01392 578222 or visit www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk for more information.

Party kick starts therapy donkey Molly’s retirement in style
PRESS RELEASE from The Donkey Sanctuary
11 June 2012
A popular therapy donkey called Molly from The Donkey Sanctuary’s Manchester Centre is to receive a fitting send off tomorrow (Tuesday 12 June) as she retires from her duties and returns to the charity’s headquarters in Sidmouth, Devon to receive treatment for her failing sight. The charity is inviting supporters to attend a party in Molly’s honour from 2pm at the centre in Abbey Hey.
22 year old Molly has been providing therapeutic visits for elderly people and children with additional needs in local communities across Manchester and the north west since 2006, visiting nursing homes, schools, hospitals and hospices. Over the last few months, staff noticed that Molly was experiencing a deterioration in her eye sight. Moving from Manchester to Sidmouth will allow Molly to receive specialist care that she needs for her worsening sight.
Debbie Coombes, manager of The Donkey Sanctuary’s centre in Manchester, says:
“Molly is very much loved by the staff and volunteers here at the Manchester centre, our supporters from far and wide and the many nursing homes and other establishments she has visited. She has worked as far afield as Preston, Blackpool, Stoke, Merseyside, Cheshire and all over the Greater Manchester and Tameside regions, and even appeared on stage at the Manchester Opera House and Liverpool Empire. Molly is to have a ‘leaving do’ on Tuesday 12 June to give her many supporters the chance to wish her farewell and a long and happy retirement. The party will be from 2pm to give all her supporters a chance to see her.
“Whilst we will miss her here at Abbey Hey, I am really pleased that Molly is able to move to Sidmouth where she will be able to receive the specialist treatment that she needs from the on-site team of vets. In the right setting and with the right care, donkeys can cope very well with blindness and sight problems, so we’re confident that Molly will be very happy at Sidmouth where her surroundings have been designed specifically for donkeys with visual impairments.
“Once she has settled in, supporters will be able to visit Molly along with her new friends in the group of donkeys with sight problems. The Donkey Sanctuary’s Sidmouth headquarters is open 365 days a year with free admission and parking, so Molly’s fans will be able to visit her as often as they like.”

Have you seen Santa?
PRESS RELEASE from The Donkey Sanctuary
15 October 2012
Staff at The Donkey Sanctuary’s Donkey Assisted Therapy centre in Ivybridge are putting out an urgent plea for anyone who sees Santa to ask him to contact them.
Knowing that he is a very busy man, the centre in Filham Park want to check his availability for weekdays between 3rd and 19th December, 10am – 2pm each day, when children from local schools will be visiting the centre to meet him and receive their first Christmas present of the festive season.
Santa will be able to enjoy a donkey cart ride to meet each group of children, and tuck into a full Christmas dinner each day to keep his strength up for delivering all those Christmas presents on Christmas Eve.
The centre provides donkey assisted therapy to around 150 local children with additional needs from Plymouth and the surrounding area each week, so there will be lots of smiling faces ready to meet Santa if he is able to make it.
If anyone sees Santa – or if Santa himself is reading this notice – please ask him to contact The Donkey Sanctuary’s Donkey Assisted Therapy centre in Ivybridge on 01752 690200. For more information about donkey assisted therapy with The Donkey Sanctuary, please visit www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/riding-therapy.

Walks and talks of discovery at The Donkey Sanctuary
PRESS RELEASE from The Donkey Sanctuary
24 July 2012
The Donkey Sanctuary is home to large numbers of rescued or unwanted animals and is a hidden haven for wildlife. A series of walks and talks at the Sanctuary’s headquarters near Sidmouth this summer holiday provide the perfect opportunity to find out more.
The charity’s headquarters has donkeys at heart, but the area is also home to a wonderful diversity of wildlife. As part of a brand new series of ‘Wild Walks’ at the Sanctuary this summer, visitors are invited to discover the wildlife habitats of:
•Bees and butterflies – 26th July, 2-4pm
•Reptiles – 9th August, 9 – 10:30am
•Birds in the Weston Valley – 23rd August, 11am – 1:30pm
The Donkey Sanctuary’s wildlife expert, James Chubb, says:
“Over the coming years we are going to explore further ways in which we can combine donkey welfare with improving and protecting habitats for wildlife. The weather so far this year has been unkind to many species of wildlife, and has affected butterflies particularly badly. However, with the weather improving just in time for the holiday period, this might be the time at which butterfly numbers finally explode, and our first ‘Wild Walk’ provides the perfect opportunity to discover them. Those taking part will also find out how to help the bees and butterflies in their garden whose recovery will be dependent on better weather next year.”
Throughout July, August and September there are also a series of regular walks and talks which cover the work of The Donkey Sanctuary, its residents, and explain how the charity grew into the international operation that it is today:
•Heart of the Sanctuary tours: meet the resident donkeys and find out about the Sanctuary’s international work – Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, 11am – 12 noon
•Work of The Donkey Sanctuary talks: chat to the donkey trainers for an inside view of the charity’s work – Tuesdays, 2 – 3:30pm
•Meet the Gentle Giants tours: be introduced to the Poitous, a large hairy breed of donkey originally from France – Fridays, 2:30 – 3:30pm
As well as providing the perfect excuse to discover the great outdoors, donations from these events will help to fund the worldwide work of The Donkey Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is open 365 days a year with free admission and parking, and visitors are always welcome to come along to meet the resident donkeys and find out more about the charity.
For further event details, please call 01395 573156 or visit www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/visit. All proceeds from events help fund the worldwide work of The Donkey Sanctuary.
