Sponsor our Donkeys from just €10 per month
Sponsorship of individual donkeys is also hugely important to us at Donkey Dreamland as it enables us to plan ahead and helps to provide for the welfare of the donkeys by meeting the monthly cost of feed and bedding, pay for vets and farriers and just as importantly, it helps to pay for our programme to educate and train donkey owners.
You can sponsor a donkey for yourself, or share the joy by giving the gift of a donkey sponsorship to a loved one. Whatever your choice, you are doing something amazing and making a big difference.
We appreciate that our supporters want to support the donkeys and that different circumstances apply to different people. That’s why we have created different levels of monthly sponsorship, plus a one off sponsorship which could be used for a birthday present or other celebration. We are sure that there will be something to suit all, but if not, there is always the option to support the donkeys through subscription. Sponsorship means you have the comfort and satisfaction of providing for a donkey that is being cared for on your behalf.

Pepé Gerardo
Pepé is around 24 years old and is the oldest donkey here at Donkey Dreamland. Pepé has had a hard life working as a tourist ‘taxi’ in Seville and he’s also appeared in ‘spaghetti’ western films, so he is a film star!
Due to his age, Pepé takes a lot of looking after. He has arthrosis, rheumatism and his teeth are in a very bad shape, but we love him. We are so happy that he is with us enjoying his best life here at the sanctuary.
Pepé is so calm and cuddly that everyone falls in love with him. We are sure you will too.

Esperanza (Hope)
Esperanza is 16 years old and was pregnant when she arrived at Donkey Dreamland. Like most of the donkeys at the sanctuary, she’s had a terrible life as we believe she was used as a ‘breeding machine’ for many years. Esperanza had been with us for six months before she gave birth to her son.
The birth was traumatic as she gave birth to twins, something very rare in donkeys. Esperanza is a wonderful Mother and we’re proud of the fact that bringing her to Donkey Dreamland means that, probably for the first time in her life, she can spend time with Luz, her foal.

Venus
Venus is without doubt a beautiful donkey. She came to Donkey Dreamland as part of a group that we called ‘The Wild Bunch‘, four donkeys that we initially couldn’t get near as they appeared to have a huge mistrust of humans. Venus still has her ‘moments’ but for those that spend the time, she rewards them with cuddles and a closeness that makes you feel special.
Now in a paddock away from the rest of the group she arrived with, which we did to give her confidence, she has matured into an elegant and loving member of the Donkey Dreamland tribe.

Brandon
Brandon is thirteen years old and is the father of Carmela. Brandon was another of the ‘The Wild Bunch’ that were initially very mistrustful of us.
When Brandon arrived his skin was in very poor condition and he had large patches without any hair at all (his ears were completely ‘bald’).
Unlike horses, a donkey’s ‘coat’ is not waterproof and if left untreated, they develop dermatitis, which is what Brandon suffered from.
However, with daily treatments, grooming and a lot of love, we are glad to say he looks like a different donkey.

Carmella
Carmela is eight years old and is the daughter of Brandon. One of the donkeys that arrived with ‘The Wild Bunch’, Carmela was initially very difficult to get close to.
However, after a while, it was Carmela who made the decision to trust us and the others soon followed her lead Carmela came from a the town of Coin and spent her days in a field with little stimulation or contact with humans, which we believe led to her initial mistrust of us.
We’re happy to say that now she is very well balanced and is living her best life at Donkey Dreamland.

Vida
Vida is around a year old and is our third youngest donkey. Vida came to Donkey Dreamland because he spent his days tied tightly to a post which meant he couldn’t move. Despite having been with us for quite some time, you can still see the harness marks on his face where he was struggling to break free.
Vida now spends his days in a paddock with the ‘big boys’ and despite his size, stands his ground, and spends hours charging round the paddock with his new friends Israel and Romeo. Vida may be one of our smaller donkeys, but he certainly thinks he is one of the biggest ….and when he’s not playing Vida does love his cuddles from our volunteers and visitors.

Luz
Luz is our youngest donkey. Luz was born at 7am on 11th April 2021. He’s the cheekiest donkey you will ever meet and will nibble the back of our legs whenever we go into a paddock with him.
Luz’s hair is currently as soft as velvet and everyone who strokes him comments on how cuddly he is. He even rests his head on your shoulder, but you’d better watch out for your ears as he’ll nibble those too.
Esperanza, Luz’s Mother, will also be close to hand as she watches his every move as Luz is the first foal she’s been able to spend her life with, despite having given birth many times.

Lauritz
Lauritz is around five years old and arrived at Donkey Dreamland with Esperanza. We suspect that he is the Father of Luz, Esperanza’s foal, who was born here at Donkey Dreamland in April 2021.
Lauritz is a large and strong donkey but he has a gentleness to his character and loves the attention (and cuddles) from both our volunteers and visitors. That said, he is still a little afraid of humans, which we believe is due to mistreatment from his past, but he does well to overcome that. Day by day he trusts us a little more. Lauritz now spends his days with his new friends, Julieta, Israel and Romeo as his ‘partner’.

Flor
Flor is around nine years old. She is one of thirty seven donkeys that were found in really awful conditions in La Línea in Cadiz.
When Flor arrived at Donkey Dreamland she was in an extremely bad physical condition and had numerous skin infections that meant we had, initially, to place her into quarantine. But with constant care, daily treatments and a lot of love, little by little she recovered and she is now able to spend her days amongst the rest of the Donkey Dreamland tribe where she has integrated well due to her lovely character.

Muneco
Muñeco came to Donkey Dreamland as a baby foal along with his Mother, Cielo, and aunty, Nube. When he arrived he was the fluffiest donkey you’ve ever seen but his coat is changing now, day by day.
Like all young donkeys, he’s very cheeky and just like all children, hassles his mother endlessly to play. Muñeco came from a place that bred donkeys but couldn’t keep him due to the pandemic. Now he is enjoying life at Donkey Dreamland.
Muñeco loves nothing more than to run around the sanctuary, regularly escaping from his paddock and to smell (and eat) all of the colourful flowers.
