Starting January 16th the director of SYA, Hannah will be on maternity leave. We are still open with a full rescue of donkeys and mules. Things are being managed by all of our awesome SYA team members who have stepped up to the plate to keep SYA up and running while Hannah and her family enjoy a small maternity leave with their new baby. If you would like to schedule a time to come visit, are interested in volunteering or have an adoption inquirie please reach out to Laura at Lgroat1188@gmail.com or text (603) 558-0965 Please note that during the winter months we limit our visits to 35 minutes, and 5 people maximum for visitors at this time, and tours and visit windows are Mondays- Fridays at this time from 10-12. We do not charge for visits but donations are welcome and appreciated!


The 2026 calendars are here! They are packed with donkey and mule facts, a few SYA success stories of the donkeys and mules we love so dearly, and of course all of the adorable photos from the contest. The purchase of these calendars helps us to pay for the care of the donkeys and mules at SYA. They make great holiday gifts for your donkey loving friends and family members.

MATCHING FUND ALERT- DOUBLE YOUR DONATION UP TO $6,000!!
Want to help us end the year with a bang? We have a very generous offer from one of our supporters who would like to help us in our effort to get some more permanent shelters up here at SYA. The anonymous donor has offered to match up to $6,000 in donations!!! Which means every dollar donated from now until the end of the year will be MATCHED dollar for dollar up to $6,000! WOW!
This will allow us to house more donkeys and mules who need help, and right now there are many on our wait list who need to come in.
Would you help us in raising $6,000 before the end of the year?
THERE IS NO SUM TOO SMALL. EVERY DOLLAR HELPS US
As ALWAYS, we are incredibly grateful for your help, as are the donkeys. It is truly heartwarming to see a donkey, once in need, standing under cover, with fluffy shavings, and a warm mash. They share their gratitude as well.

We are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of donkeys and mules in need. By providing educational opportunities that increase awareness of the human/animal bond and the specific needs of long ears,

and mules everywhere.
