Anna occupies a special place in the heart of the team because she was born here at the sanctuary. Anna is a playful, happy donkey, who enjoys a very special bond with her mother, Gali.

Hamish was about 2 years old when he came to us on 2nd April 2015 from a local village where he was being beaten by a gang of youths.

Sami, who we think was born in about 2008, was found as a stray wandering the streets of Nablus on 20th December 2017.   He had obviously been neglected and had a cataract in one eye.

Sydney, who we think was born in about 2006, was found on 11 November 2017 as a stray wandering the streets of Nablus.  He had a cataract in one eye and a wound on his back where he had been hit with what our team think was an axe.

Major was about 6 when he was rescued from the Palestinian city of Nablus as a stray and brought to our clinic in the city on 21 August 2017.

Alfie was about 4 when he was brought to our sanctuary on 13 September 2017 by a lady who had discovered him wandering as a stray near the town of Kufur Qasem, an Israeli Arab town near the Israel/West Bank border, weak and covered in wounds.
