Some donkeys keep their distance. Millie never got that memo. 🤎

At Oregon Donkey Sanctuary, “personal space” simply doesn’t exist when Millie is around. She greets everyone the same way: with full-body hugs, endless affection, and soulful eyes that make you feel completely seen. The lucky volunteers who spend time with her know that once Millie decides you need love, you’re getting love. 💕

It’s hard to believe this gentle-hearted soul once started life as a wild donkey. Now, she spends her days bringing comfort, joy, and healing to every human she meets - one hug at a time.

Swipe through for some of Millie’s favorite moments doing what she does best: loving people.

Meet Wilbur! 🤍
These are just a few of the wonderful words our volunteers use to describe this very special boy.
Oregon Donkey Sanctuary resident Wilbur is a 21-year-old large standard gelding with a big personality and an even bigger heart.
Wilbur came to the sanctuary in 2010 as a surrender from Washington, after his owner passed away. When he arrived, he was suffering from severe fibroblastic sarcoids on several areas of his body.
Over the course of several years, with repeated surgeries and implanted cisplatin beads, the sarcoids finally disappeared. Wilbur handled it all with incredible patience and resilience.
Wilbur's temperament is calm and steady, and he has a gentle nature with our other donkey residents. We are incredibly grateful for his quiet comfort and his trust, and are honored to call him a beloved member of the Oregon Donkey Sanctuary family. 🤍

We love getting these kind of thanks! These children had a wonderful day! Thank you Parkrose High School!

This is a testament to the observations of donkeys. Dave, our special needs gelding that has damage to his prehensile upper lip, has to drink water from a cup since he cannot drink from a trough. Toby has watched this and now he too wants his water from said cup. Absolutely astonishing.

Big weather change here tonight. Thunder is rare here in the PNW, but we have had a few active cells blow through and the temperature has dropped 25 degrees. The donkeys are safely sheltered and wondering what in the world is happening 😜🙄😳🤪

A horrible situation. Please encourage your representatives to support this action.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at the Oregon Donkey Sanctuary. 💛

Today we’re celebrating Fiona and her “baby” Shrek. Fiona is 28, Shrek is 22, and somehow she still treats him like a foal - because some moms never stop mothering.

We also know Mother’s Day can hold many emotions. Some are missing their mothers today, and some have poured their love into the animals in their care. However this day finds you, we hope there’s a little extra gentleness in it.

Give the mother figures in your life an extra hug today - two-legged or four. 🫏
