Help Us Keep Our Donkeys Home in Rathnew

Our beloved donkeys are at risk of being taken away by The Donkey Sanctuary Ireland — despite the love, care, and happiness they bring to our community every single day.

These gentle souls have done nothing wrong. They’ve lived their lives peacefully among us, bringing joy to children, neighbours, and visitors alike. They’re not just animals — they’re cherished members of our community.

We’ve always looked after them with love, respect, and responsibility. Now, we’re facing the heartbreak of losing them through no fault of their own.

We need your voice. If you’ve ever stopped to say hello, shared an apple, taken a photo, or simply smiled at the sight of them — please sign this petition.

Let’s show that they belong right here, at home, surrounded by the people who truly care for them.
