The charities looking out for our four-legged friends: The Donkey Sanctuary & RSPCA
If carols and Christmas cards designs have got you thinking about little donkeys plodding through the winter’s night, you might want to make a donation to The Donkey Sanctuary this Christmas. The charity operates out of 10 sanctuaries around the UK and Europe, giving lifelong care to over 6,000 donkeys and reaching 1.8 million donkeys in total worldwide.
Donners can choose to either give a one-off donation, set up a direct debit or even adopt a donkey for £3 a month. Gifters will be told the name, birthday and location of their donkey, and sent two framed portraits of their new furry friend, too.

Another charity looking out for vulnerable animals this Christmas is the RSPCA. Through its Stock the Sleigh appeal, you can send an animal the gift of ‘care’ (veterinary care, hydration and medicines); ‘safety’ (donating towards call response services); or ‘comfort’ (a warm blanket, treats and a toy), by going online and selecting your prefered donation package.
