Welcome to PrimRose Donkey Sanctuary!
Sheila Burns - Founder, proprietor, but definitely not in charge!
Aggie and Sheila
We are dedicated to the rescue, protection, and rehabilitation of abused, neglected and unwanted donkeys, mules and hinnies. We also provide an information hoof-way to educate the public: a donkey is NOT a stubborn, dumb or viscous animal: but a stoic, loyal and very intelligent animal who will risk it's life to protect it's charges including humans. THANKS for visiting and donations are always very much appreciated!
Hours, curbside visits and personal tours
We are open for curbside visits Thursdays and Sundays 1-3pm. There will be volunteers there to tell you about our amazing animals and the sanctuary. You don't need to schedule a curbside visit, just show up!
Donations are GRATEFULLY accepted at the front gate donation box. If you'd like a tax receipt mailed to you, please leave your monetary donation in an envelope with your name and address. Have a look at the donkey ears on the fence for a reminder of social distancing. Here's a link to our location:
​
We also offer personal tours Thursdays and Sundays 11am -12pm. $20 per person, including children. Tours to be scheduled in advance with Sheila by emailing her at primrosedonkeysanctuary@gmail.com
​
We care for our animals through donations and we thank you for your generosity.
Rest in Peace PrimRose. You will be greatly missed and never forgotten
Prim had lived her best life with Sheila for 27 years and knew how loved she was. PrimRose will be greatly missed and never forgotten. The namesake of PrimRose Donkey sanctuary passed away peacefully on February 1st in her 47th year. Prim was an amazing girl who was Sheila’s first donkey-the one that started it all! She was a wonderful ambassador for the sanctuary, visiting long term care residents, participating in parades and Easter services. She liked to wear her halter a little off to the side, her own fashion statement, such a special girl. Prim was also a very good sport, wearing her tiara and pearls for special occasions.

Please be aware of a gift card scam going on. PrimRose Donkey Sanctuary does not give out gift cards nor can they purchased. Always double check the email addresses as well. Scammers are very tricky and may add an extra letter to the email address, when read quickly looks authentic.
Thank you, Sheila and PrimRose Donkey Sanctuary.
