Nerja Donkey Sanctuary



Hola everyone,

Hope you are well. If anyone has been reading my post for a while you will probably know that every Sunday my wife and I go down to the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary to walk a few of the dogs. We have been thinking now for a while of adopting a dog from the sanctuary but wanted to wait until we were settled.

If anyone has been to the Sanctuary regulary then you may know Sampson and Blue. They are the 2 dogs that we have been taking for walks for the last few months. While we would have loved to adopt Sampson, he is just a little too big for our place.

The Staff were very helpful in finding the right dog for us. The dog that we decided to adopt was Ringo who is only 6 months old. He is an affectionate, bouncy and good natured young man. Due to the excellent training from the Staff he is house trained and knows to behave indoors.

They don’t only take excellent care of dogs and cats. Their main focus is on larger animals and they have many donkeys, horses, goats, turkeys and various others on any give day! If you can get down to see them, volunteer to do some feeding, some dog/donkey/goat walking or just donate as they rely solely on the goodwill of the public to provide this essential service. Their website is: http://www.nerjadonkeysanctuary.com/

Watch this space and I let you know how Ringo is getting in on along with some pictures of him.
