Who We Are
Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue (PPDR) was founded to help prevent cruelty inflicted upon donkeys. Primarily focusing on donkeys within the United States, PPDR takes in abused, neglected, malnourished, ill and elderly donkeys and provides them medical, nutritional and emotional rehabilitation with the plan to later adopt them to carefully vetted loving homes. We also focus our efforts on educating the public regarding the plight of donkeys worldwide in order to bring about change in perception and treatment.

Cheers to a Brighter New Year for the Donkeys!
The New Year has arrived, and here at Peaceful Pastures, we’re thrilled to ring in 2025 with gratitude for all the second chances and bright futures we’ve been able to create for our beloved donkeys. 🥳💖 Here's to another year of hope, happiness, and new beginnings for every donkey in our care—and those yet to come!

Hope Starts With You!
Join Us in Rescuing Hope and Restoring Happiness
​Every day, donkeys arrive at our gates broken—neglected, abused, starved, and forgotten. They come from kill pens, auctions, abandonment, and cruelty. At Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue, we offer them safety, medical care, nourishment, and love—sometimes for the first time in their lives.
But we can't do it alone.
​
Your support gives these donkeys the chance to heal, to trust again, and to discover that not all humans bring harm. Whether it’s funding a life-saving surgery, filling a hay net, or building a safe shelter—your gift becomes their second chance.
