Welcome to Lucy's Pasture Donkey Sanctuary
We started with one donkey, Lucy, who needed a home. The woman who had her loved her but was not able
to care for her and could no longer afford to feed her. My wife Mary and I payed the woman what she had bought
the donkey for and assured her that Lucy would be cared for and given a good home. Lucy soon taught us that donkeys
are very affectionate and have a sense of humor. Friends of ours from Jackass Junction in Deming, New Mexico informed
us that there were a lot of donkeys out there that needed a home. We acquired our next two donkeys at a Bureau
of Land Management auction. Before we knew it, people who could no longer take care of their donkeys due to illness
or other hardships were asking if we could take in their donkeys. These people loved their donkeys but
surrendered them to us knowing they would be provided the best of care and given a good home. Mary and I have
become known as "The people who take in animals." We have since become home to a
pig, six ducks, one goose, nine goats, ten miniture horses, one miniture mule and three horses. At last
count, there are twelve donkeys. Mary and I, along with our daughter Candice have provided shelter, veterinarian, ferrier
care and do all the work neccesary to care for these animals. We do not think of it as work, it is what we love to do
and it is a joy to watch these animals and see them happy and healthy. We have found good homes for some of the animals
we have acquired. However, we can not continue to do it alone any longer. We need help from caring people.
Please enjoy our website and if you get a chance, please bring your children and come to Lucy's Pasture to visit
with the animals. Thank you. Your support is very needed.
