The Donkey Sanctuary
In 1969, Dr. Elisabeth Svendsen’s decision to rescue a donkey she named Naughty Face would alter the fate of incalculable numbers of donkeys around the globe. In the decade following Dr. Svendsen’s first donkey rescue, she put into place much of the key work that is still at the heart of what the Sanctuary does today. Although the great Dr. Elisabeth Svendsen passed away in 2011, The Donkey Sanctuary has carried her legacy forward to help donkeys and mules for years to come.
