The Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge Society is a 50 acre facility located at 7877 Skimikin Road in the Turtle Valley near Chase, BC. We are dedicated to rehabilitating and caring for unwanted, surrendered, abused and neglected donkeys. When donkeys are abused they require years of special care, costly vet and farrier work and years of love and devotion to heal the scars made by man. We are blessed to be able to facilitate this healing with love and care.

DONKEYS GET THEIR MEDICINE
Every three months or so all the donkeys get worm medicine. The medicine is a thick paste that comes in a syringe and is squirted into their mouths. It can't taste very good because only two of the donkeys - Jack and Ruby - came back for more. Our job as volunteers was to halter the donkeys. Rob's job was to administer the worm paste. I am glad that my job was to catch and halter donkeys as it was definitely the easier job. After we recovered from watching Rob work so hard, we took three of the donkeys, Jose, Hoss and Tiny Tim for a long walk. What a lovely day at the Refuge. Again!
