 Loving Long Ears Donkey Therapy & Sanctuary, Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that rescues donkeys that are unwanted, neglected, abused, need rehoming or are heading for slaughter. We rehabilitate them for Donkey Assisted Therapies and Activities that inspire, renew and heal the human spirit for children, adults, veterans, first responders, and mental health conditions. We extend a life-long home to donkeys while providing the care and love they have never known. We are committed to education for the continued welfare of donkeys throughout the world and supporting the community through networking and the establishment of meaningful relationships. - Our Mission is Love! 

Mission

Loving Long Ears and love started our mission. Jules Peterson began this mission in 2017 with her first two donkeys Miss Taco & Belle with a desire for donkeys to help heal humans and for humans to heal rescued donkeys. Loving Long Ears Donkey Therapy & Sanctuary Inc.(TM) was founded as a 501 c 3 nonprofit charity in 2019 and moved to its current temporary location in Southlake Tx. She began rescuing more donkeys and training them as Therapy Donkeys, while creating the long ears family you will find on our website today.

Needs

You can help to bridge the Loving Long Ears (LLE) Nonprofit Organization toward our much-needed Donkey Assisted Therapy Facility and our difference to make a difference in the world for the better! With the continued success of our programs and the Difference for the Better™ that we've been making in the lives of children and adults. Loving Long Ears Donkey Therapy & Sanctuary has outgrown our current location, and it has become necessary to have a facility that would better accommodate our Donkey Assisted Therapy Programs, along with special events, the donkey’s wellbeing, community involvement, special needs groups, and holiday events with a large climate-controlled barn, covered therapy arena, and large dry lot living areas for the donkeys. For this North Texas Giving Day we will have so much gratitude for any amount contributed to help us achieve our $5,689,000 goal for this facility and accompanying buildings to become a joyful reality! If you would like to be a in position of our mission by gifting a larger amount to become a Gold or Platinum LLE Sponsor, we have naming rights opportunities for the barn, covered therapy arena, stalls and land specifications. As well as our Villas for Veterans ™ Program.
