Good afternoon!
Hoping your all well
This week I received a telephone call from a very kindly but distressed lady re a donkey in Sokvy Park in the Ukraine
It was very hard to trace him as the lovely lady was not able to access to photos /narrative etc to send on to me , apparently the donkeywas down and not getting up and she was concerned for his welfare ,it took some doing but I eventually tracked down the park manager and we spoke through his assistant who’s English was minimal
They have said he now was in sanctuary/or a stable to recuperate and rest , we established his feet were sore hence laying down , possibly laminitis early stages , so they have assured me he is being taken care of , I’ve offered our charity to assist this dear little donkey in anyway
They were very grateful but currently say they do not need or want help ….
but requested our details if they need us , they were pleased to have been offered help they stated the only welfare to have approached them ,outside of their own country
So they have us to call on and have assured me they are caring for him
I certainly hope so
Thank you to the lovely lady ( name withheld ) who notified us .
Just because we are not a big organisation does not mean we cannot offer big help ..we can
I spoke to our lovely colleagues at Nowzad and exchanged notes on this story as they have contacts there etc
So currently this is the status on this story..
The Donkey Haven Charity exists to aid wherever possible and we do
If you are in the UK /holidaying abroad and see any welfare issues we will always be reactive and try to help
