Buying unseen may result in purchasing an animal that has been incorrectly described and then delivered to you; at which point it is often hard to refuse the purchase. Always take another person with you to act as a witness – preferably an experienced donkey owner – or consult your local donkey welfare adviser. Sue Weaver lives in the Arkansas Ozarks with her husband and a fine array of animal friends including goats, sheep, horses, chickens, a donkey, a llama and a pet razorback hog. To foster, you must comply with adoption criteria and agree to provide everyday care and feed at your own expense. In return, most agencies cover emergency medical expenses and give caregivers first chance to adopt. You must also agree to allow rescue personnel or their representatives to visit the adoptee periodically to ascertain that he is, in fact, being properly cared for.
Ideally, you should provide a lot of dry and clean straw in a donkey’s indoor living space. Donkeys like to use straw as bedding, and it’s important to give them extra bedding material in much colder weather. Any straw residents don’t finish during the day can be used as bedding. Donkeys with respiratory conditions shouldn’t use straw however as it can exacerbate their symptoms. You must remove and replace all moist and soiled straw every day to prevent serious health risks to donkeys.

Not only are pole barns less affected by bad weather, water, and drafts, but they are also easier to get into and clean, which is very important for the health of any animal. The exception to this rule is for sanctuaries in warmer environments, where you can house donkeys in a three-sided structure that faces away from the prevailing winds if absolutely necessary. When it comes to sizing a donkey’s indoor living space, you should allow for at least 40 square feet of space for each donkey.

We do not recommend using barbed wire as it can injure residents. A donkey’s fence should be stretched tightly if wire, at least four feet high in height regardless of material, and secured to posts every ten feet or so. If using no-climb fence, the bottom of the fence should be about a foot off the ground so donkeys can’t get their hooves trapped in the wire. You should keep fence posts on the outside of the donkey’s outdoor living space to help avoid donkeys from running into them.
Others made cash on collection could deliver local for fee. In the winter, you have to make sure that the barn is ventilated, because humidity can quickly build up in a warm barn and cause dangerous pneumonia and bronchitis outbreaks in a herd. If your barn is properly insulated from drafts, a donkey’s body (especially a herd of donkeys in an appropriately-sized space) will provide a good deal of warmth.
