Nestled in the Oxfordshire countryside near Wallingford, Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary is a heartwarming place dedicated to the care and protection of rescued donkeys. Established in the early 1980s, the sanctuary began with just a few animals saved from sales, gradually growing into a trusted refuge for donkeys in need. Over the years, its mission has remained the same: to provide a safe, caring environment where every donkey can live with dignity and comfort.
Today, the sanctuary is home to over 120 donkeys, ranging from young foals to those well into their later years. Each one has its own story, and the team works tirelessly to ensure they receive proper care, companionship, and a peaceful life. Visitors are often touched by the gentle nature of the animals and the calm, welcoming atmosphere of the farm.
Island Farm also offers a thoughtful donkey adoption scheme, allowing supporters to contribute to the animals’ wellbeing while forming a special connection. Whether you visit for a quiet afternoon or support from afar, the sanctuary offers a meaningful reminder of kindness, rescue, and the simple joy of caring for animals.
