Ikaora
Rehoming Centre covers the
bottom half of the North Island from Lake Taupo southwards. The
Centre was set up three years ago by Andrea Thomson and Nancy Neal. It
is recognised and affiliated to the Donkey and Mule Protection
Trust N.Z. Nancy and Andrea found that in many cases donkeys have to
be bought to get them out of a bad situation, and if the donkey is
able to be rehabilitated successfully it can be safely sold to a
vetted and approved home to cover some of the costs of rescue and
rehabilitation. Rehomed donkeys are sold on the proviso that the
Rehoming Centre is involved should the donkey be rehomed again.
Nancy
and Andrea found that they could
not keep buying donkeys to rescue them, without recouping some of the
costs. If a donkey is rescued that is fragile either because it is
old, has physical or psychological needs then it will be put into the
Donkey and Mule Protection Trust which can provide that lifetime
care. The Rehoming Centre does not have its own land or special
facilities. Nancy and Andrea run the rehoming centre donkeys in with
their own stock.
Contact Nancy or Andrea for details of any donkeys looking for forever homes.
