The Scottish Donkey Sanctuary, previously known as the Scottish Borders Donkey Sanctuary, was founded in 2003 by Mrs Rosemary Dale in St Boswells. In the beginning, Mrs Dale had just two rescued donkeys, but this grew and grew and today, the sanctuary is home to over 100 donkeys who have been rescued from sometimes miserable conditions and given a new lease of life. In addition to the donkeys, the sanctuary is also home to 4 llamas, 5 pigs, 5 peafowl, 10 ponies and 4 mules! The sanctuary is open to the public on Saturdays during the spring and summer and in addition to visiting the donkeys, the public can adopt a donkey either for themselves or for a family member or friend.You can visit their website here: www.scottishdonkeysanctuary.org
