Meet Our
Donkeys
Our sanctuary is a lively home to donkeys ages 3 to 35 years, with personalities as big as their ears and stories as colorful as their coats! We’ve got everything from sassy pint-sized miniatures to laid-back mammoth giants, each one a character.
Care here is never one-size-fits-all—every donkey gets its own menu of high-quality food, special belly rubs, and attention to its quirks. Take Timothy, for example: after his epic journey from Canada, he’s now one of our local legends, keeping company with his mostly Oregon-born pals.
Around here, we believe Littlenuggets Donkey Sanctuary is a donkey paradise, filled with laughter, friendship, fun, and endless ear scratches.
