Rancho Burro is a private sanctuary providing a safe haven and specialized care for rescued donkeys and mules. From our 46-acre home, we focus on rehabilitation and community education. We invite you to meet our herd, learn about their unique needs, and see firsthand how your support changes lives—one hoof at a time.
Your tax-deductible donation for a private group tour directly funds the essential care of our rescued donkeys, including their feed, pasture, and sanctuary upkeep, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical needs.
During our exclusive, staff-led tour (approx. 1 hour), you will get a behind-the-scenes look at our work. Our team will share powerful rescue stories and educate you on donkey welfare, responsible ownership, and proper care. You will have the opportunity to observe the herd's heartwarming interactions and connect safely with the donkeys under our guidance in an experience that fosters compassion.
Create lasting memories and make a tangible difference in the lives of our donkeys!
