Every purchase helps the donkeys and mules

Since 1992, The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada has been a refuge for donkeys, mules and hinnies who have been neglected or abused, or who can no longer be cared for by their owners. At the Long Ears Boutique, every item you buy helps us care for the animals at the Sanctuary. It costs more than $5,000 per year to care for one animal, so you can imagine how every little bit helps. Thank you for shopping at our store!
