We provide shelter, food, health care, education and love to homeless, neglected, abandoned, unwanted and/or surrendered donkeys.

Donkeys need care and attention just the same as all other farm, pet or companion animals. Donkey Welfare With Heart has experience of day-to-day care with hundreds of welfare donkeys since 1976.

We DO for donkeys. Our existence is based on expertise and knowledge and your donation will help us survive.

Christine Berry OAM and volunteers – setting the standard in donkey welfare with unbeatable practice since 1976.

Donkey Welfare With Heart Inc cares for hundreds of donkeys less fortunate than others in rural communities. We provide Veterinary assistance, medicine, transport, shelter, food, water and every need according to the individual donkey plus tender loving care. We provide the highest standard of care for every donkey and have set the standard in donkey welfare since 1976.

Rescued or surrendered donkeys are brought to the Donkey Home for intensive care at the Wellbeing Centre at Bishops Bridge (near Maitland) in NSW Australia. 

Understanding the general psychology of the species allows an opportunity to successfully work with donkeys of all ages and from all backgrounds. We communicate with donkeys through a minimum of words and maximum deeds on a level which enables them to respond in a donkey-like-manner in return. Different personalities, temperaments and characteristics must be observed and summed up to determine just how to handle every situation and individual animals. Donkey Welfare With Heart Inc. has the expertise, knowledge, and dedication to provide for donkeys in need. Knowing donkeys as personally as we do is an honour. To love one donkey is to love them all.
