Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Rancho Burro Donkey Sanctuary.

Our volunteers are an important part of giving our donkeys extra hands-on and loving attention, exercise, grooming, and training.

We always need extra hands for cleaning stalls and field areas, especially on the weekends

• AT THIS TIME WE ARE ONLY ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE EXTENSIVE PREVIOUS HANDS-ON KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH EQUINES. (DONKEY OR HORSES.)  

This is important primarily in terms of safety around large animals.  

Also, training volunteers takes a certain amount of time, which is the reason for the basic requirements listed below.

• MUST have hands-on knowledge of working with donkeys or horses

(Haltering, walking, exercise, grooming, brushing, cleaning hooves.)
• Must be able to commit to at least 2 shifts  every week for 3 months

(Typical volunteer shift is 3-4 hours)
 • Must love working outside, rain or shine
• Must be able to lift and rake 

• Must be at least 18 years old

Please complete our volunteer form below if you can fulfill ALL these requirements.
