We are increasingly suspicious about an e mail we received 2 weeks ago asking us if we would take in a donkey as the person had to return to UK. We hope to be proved wrong but we asked this person to phone to arrange collection - NOTHING, she has no photo of donkey and says it is 'classic' grey with stripe - (actually quite unusual in Crete),There are a few people involved with donkeys on Crete who delight in causing us any trouble they can and fake e mails are nothing new.  If there is a donkey then I apologise and we would be delighted to help but we will not be travelling the distance to Sitia without proof of its existence!

We can only take in donkeys if we have enough shelter for them and know that we will have the funds to feed and care for them. We cannot promise to take in every donkey and that 'no donkey will ever be refused'. This would be extremely irresponsible.

Because we have found no reliable foster homes on the island and DISAGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY with shipping old donkeys on a 5 day trip by sea and road to the UK, all donkeys we take in stay here with us at the Walk with Donkeys Sanctuary. We therefore have a number limit until more funds and help are available.

PLEASE HELP US TO HELP THE EQUINES OF CRETE.

thank you
Suzanne and Alistair
