It is only through her amazing devotion to donkeys and hard work that the Sanctuary grew to the international charity it is today. Over 50 million donkeys and mules exist in the world. Many need care and protection from a life of suffering and neglect, whilst others have a vital role to play in human survival and happiness; they are at the heart of everything we do here at El Refugio del Burrito.
El Refugio del Burrito has helped more than 1200 donkeys and mules in Spain and currently monitors over 350 donkeys and mules. We investigate cases of abuse or neglect, or any public complaint that concerns donkeys and mules. El Refugio del Burrito is actively involved in causes that encourage the application and improvement of existing laws regarding animal welfare and the promotion of awareness campaigns.
