## FAQs
### What does a donkey sanctuary place include?
Shelter, daily feed, herd companionship and routine health care for one rescued donkey or pony — £50 a month. Farrier visits (£25) and dental checks (£35) can be given as one-off gifts too.

### Why do donkeys need sanctuary?
Working donkeys carry bricks, water and loads for years, usually with overgrown hooves and untreated teeth. Sanctuary retires them to routine farriery, dentistry and a herd — a hard-working life finally done.
