Introduction

Introduction

The Donkey Sanctuary has an ambition to help improve the lives of donkeys and mules around the world, by providing relevant up-to-date resources on donkey care, welfare, behaviour, nutrition and veterinary topics. These recordings of live webinars are created to help owners, handlers, carers and the employees of organisations across the world find the information they need to improve the lives of their donkeys.

This webinar recording explores the four stages of bringing your donkey home; before they arrive, their arrival, their first week and the four stages we can follow to make sure we consider our donkeys’ needs and build a long happy life with them.

  • Why settling in is so important to wellbeing
  • Why settling in can go wrong
