A journey from hunger and exhaustion to freedom and joy.
During the festive season, animals are often at the bottom of the list of those who receive help.
No cause is unworthy, and it can be difficult to know where to give your attention. But Evie and Donkey were desperate. So, we put out an urgent appeal to help them.
Below you can see the skin and bones they were when rescued. It broke our hearts to see the state they were in.


Evie and Donkey’s journey to us was one of hunger and exhaustion. Their owner, unable to meet their needs, reached out for help.
Hungry and frail, Evie, the black girl cow, was so exhausted she lay down for the entire journey to safety, unable to stand.
Thanks to the support of this community and their generous donors, we were able to provide them with the care they so desperately needed.
They got a second chance at life.
After some much-needed care and love in one of our foster homes, they began to open up and enjoy life again 🥹, showing us their loving and playful spirits. Watch their transformation here.
Evie is gentle and kind. Donkey loves to run with horses and perhaps thinks he may be one…
This is the power of compassion. Animals once frail, afraid with very little to give can transform into the most fun and loving companions.
There are no lost causes at ‘Til The Cows Come Home, only those who need a little extra love.
But our work was not over; we needed to find them a home that could be their forever.
Only with your help and support are we able to spend so much time housing animals who need it most and use all our resources to search high and low for their perfect forever homes.
After months of searching, their forever home was found. One filled with lush grass and lots of space for Donkey to run to his heart’s content. A home where they will be loved as companions, not commodities.
None of this is possible without your generosity. If you would like to continue supporting this life-saving work, please click here.
