Save Your Ass Long Ear Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non profit dedicated to rescuing, rehabbing, and rehoming unwanted or neglected donkeys and mules, so none get left behind or go hungry. We were incorporated officially as a 501(c)(3) in 2007 and place between 20 to 40 animals per year into loving homes.We are currently located in South Acworth NH, but are looking locally for a property to purchase so the rescue can continue to spread its wings, and we can continue to help Longears in need.

We often hear the phrase, ‘it’s just a donkey’, or ‘I didn’t realize there was a need for donkey rescues’. Donkeys are highly intelligent, sentient beings who bond very strongly with other donkeys and their care takers. Donkeys deserve recognition for their grounding presence, and their therapeutic abilities with people.

Donkeys are looked at as less than because it is believed that donkeys can not preform as a horse can, but the truth is, donkeys can do anything a horse can and then some! Donkeys are incredibly intelligent and independent, which is often confused for being stubborn.

Because donkeys are so misunderstood, they are frequently neglected due to a lack of awareness of their specific needs as a desert species. We take in countless long ears that need extensive veterinary, farrier, diet care and a lot of TLC. We give the long ears everything we possibly can to ensure they are healthy for adoption and can find loving, deserving homes.
