Mission Statement

Lusco Farms Rescue

    The mission of Lusco Farms Rescue is to provide immediate shelter, veterinarian care and nutrition for all equines. A special emphasis will be placed on the well being of miniature ponies and donkeys. Volunteers at Lusco Farm Rescue will provide care without passing judgment on those involved in the situation. Our main purpose is to rehabilitate and find safe and caring homes for the equines that have come into our care.
"Donkeys are special.  Are you special enough to be a friend?

Why Adopt a donkey?
You can go to a sale barn or purchase a donkey from a breeder but do you really know what you are paying for? Is the money you paid going towards helping other equines live a better life or just causing more over breeding and unwanted equines?

     All of the donkeys and ponies that are ready for adoption from Lusco Farms have been vaccinated, de-wormed, hoofs trimmed and micro-chipped. Your donkey or pony has also been worked with by many volunteers to ensure they can be handled easily when you take them home.  Best of all we allow you time to bond with your forever friend before taking them home. If you ever have an issue with an adopted animal we will always take them back no questions asked.
