Donkeys of Pahrump

A safe haven for donkeys, horses and ponies in the heart of Pahrump, Nevada.

We’re not just a sanctuary—we’re a place where compassion meets community. Come visit, connect, and make a difference.

Our mission

At Donkeys of Pahrump, we provide a loving, hands-on environment for rescued donkeys, horses, and ponies. Our mission is to promote animal welfare while creating meaningful, educational experiences for visitors of all ages.

Unlike most sanctuaries, we’re open to the public! Guests are encouraged to feed, brush, and interact with our animals in a safe and caring space. It’s a one-of-a-kind, family-friendly experience you won’t find elsewhere.

RESIDENTS

MEET THE HERD

Our residents are a special herd of equine who have found refuge after lives of hardship or neglect. Each one came to the sanctuary in need of safety, care and compassion, and now they spend their days in peace, surrounded by love and open desert skies.

HELP KEEP US GOING

Running a public sanctuary isn’t easy. We rely on donations, merchandise sales, and volunteers to keep our gates open. Spreading awareness, securing consistent funding, and finding reliable help are our biggest hurdles—but with your support, we can keep going.
