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.

DAY 1 - DONKEY DAYS
Hi Everyone. Day 1 of our 4th Annual Donkey Days is complete, and, considering the unfavorable weather, I think we did well. Hopefully tomorrow will be a very busy day with lots and lots of generous visitors.
The donkeys behaved splendidly and gave lots of donkey kisses to the visitors. Lillie was her usual lovely self and Jose serenaded us with his soulful brays. I never did get up to see the mini donkeys in our Maximo Barn but I hear that they were a hit. Due in part to the rainfall, the INDOOR Learning Center was popular.
At the end of the day, Laura, Marion and I were responsible for removing the directional signs from the highway. After such a long day, even the simple task of pulling up the rebar that held the signs in place resulted in fits of hysterical giggles on the way home.
Tomorrow morning we head back to the Refuge at 8:30am, hopefully under clear, sunny skies, for Day Two. Until then.....nite, nite!
