Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge

What an amazing place! They are doing such great work here. Helping donkeys by giving them a beautiful place to live out their years with lots of friends and love. Plus you can pet donkeys! The best.

Amazing rescue place with lots of friendly donkeys to give some love to! The farm owners were there, interacting with the guests. The donkeys all seemed very happy to be living there. Reasonable rate, and you could visit as long as you'd like.

Great experience! Calm activity to break up a long drive. The donkeys are beautiful, and so are the people that have devoted their lives to caring for them. Learned a lot, and loved hearing stories about the donkeys and their different needs and personalities. Highly recommend, also a great cause to support!

So great what they do here. If you are coming through, it is worth the stop.

Lovely farm for rescue donkeys. Had a great time. Kids can pet some of the donkeys, gift shop that benefits donkeys.

Went for the Christmas event, the barns were lit with Christmas lights, there was a campfire outside, hot chocolate and soup. A really nice adventure. The Turtle Valley area is really scenic.Donkeys looked happy, and we saw some bonus goats too.

Volunteered to clean up weeds and rake walking paths and was treated to a guided tour with information about all the wonderful donkeys and the amazing work the people there do for them. They need volunteers to groom them if you are interested.

What a great place! Such a great thing that they do there, providing sanctuary for these wonderful, beautiful, gentle creatures. You can tell that the people who run it have truly good hearts and care for these animals as if they are their children.I was really impressed at both the quality/cleanliness of the facility and the number of animals there. Everything was clean and well maintained and on the day I went through they had 119 donkeys on the farm and 16 more in foster care. That's a lot of donkeys!!Having only met a few donkeys before this, it was a real treat to have the opportunity to interact so closely with them. We learned so much about them while we were there as well which a real bonus for us.This was completely worth the 4hr (round trip) drive to get there and I can't wait for a chance to go back again.

It was a beautiful Christmas evening fundraiser and the donkeys are so peaceful to visit as they came into the barns for the evening. The volunteers are friendly and the owners are amazing! These lovely creatures are being cared for so well and every donation helps, if you can!

What a wonderful place! I've been wanting to visit for years and finally had the opportunity to do so this past weekend. The donkeys are so lovely and you can really see the love and care they receive. The people were all very kind and helpful throughout our visit as well, and I love my little sponsorship package! A must if you're in the area and are looking for a calming and heartwarming respite.
