into a dust bowl. Its also important to have enough space between your donkeys and the neighbors, said Dean. Longhopes is the only donkey shelter in the Rocky Mountain region. There are other donkey rescues in Maine, Oregon, California, Arizona and New Mexico. Longhopes has adopted donkeys to homes in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska and Nevada. The adoption fee for a pair of Longhopes donkeys is $550, and this includes spay/neuter and vaccinations. Adopting a donkey from us comes with a guarantee, explained Dean. If
you change your mind, or for any reason the adoption doesnt work out, we will take the donkeys back. Learn more about Longhopes Donkey Shelter and see all their adoptable donkeys at Longhopes.org. A tour of the Bennett facility must be prearranged. Longhopes also has an active Facebook page where new photos are frequently posted. While cash donations are welcome anytime, the shelter is always in need of hay and farm supplies. To contact the shelter directly call 303-644-5930, or e-mail longhopesorg@ gmail.com.
