A Special Place for Donkeys

Welcome to Amberwood

Caring for donkeys since 1982

Founded in 1982, Amberwood Sanctuary Inc. has spent more than four decades giving donkeys in need a second chance. Here in Baker County, Georgia, every donkey that arrives — whether frightened, neglected, or simply out of options — is met with patience, expert care, and the promise of a permanent home.

We believe rescue is only the beginning. Rehabilitation, training, and lifelong companionship are what truly transform a donkey’s life. Whether you’re a lifelong animal lover or simply curious, we’re glad you’re here.

Meet Our Residents

Every donkey here has a story. These are just a few of the friends who now call Amberwood home.

Portrait of a grey donkey resident

Willow

A gentle grey mare who arrived shy and wary. Today she greets every visitor at the gate.

Barnaby

Rescued from neglect, this good-natured brown fellow now spends his days sunbathing with friends.

Clementine

Our smallest resident with the biggest personality. Curious, clever, and always first in line for treats.

Help the Donkeys

Every donkey we rescue depends on the generosity of people like you. Your gift provides food, veterinary care, shelter, and the daily attention that turns a life of hardship into a life of comfort. There are many ways to help — but donating is the fastest way to make a difference today.
