A home for donkeys and humans
"Here you can be sure that the animals are doing well"
In harmony with donkeys
Experience Personal Growth Through Connection: At Burro Verde (formerly Burros & Artes), our sanctuary provides a safe haven for donkeys, fostering a unique environment for personal transformation.
The donkey sanctuary Burro Verde (formerly Burros & Artes) was founded 20 years ago out of a love for donkeys and the urgent need to help animals that were often mistreated and urgently needed a new home. Many of the donkeys living with us have been rescued and have found a safe place here where they are well cared for. What began as a simple idea to create a sanctuary for donkeys has developed into a unique project that also benefits visitors. We not only offer a home for the donkeys but also provide people with the opportunity to interact with these animals and learn more about their needs and behavior. Our visitors can see how we care for the donkeys and gain valuable insights into working with animals and their care. They also have the opportunity to get to know the diverse Portuguese nature and culture and experience an authentic part of the country.
The Burro Verde (formerly Burros & Artes) project is therefore not only a home for rescued donkeys but also a place where people can gain practical experience and learn more about the keeping and care of animals while discovering the beauty of Portugal.
Sustainability and Community
Protecting Nature and Our Beloved Donkeys: We are committed to sustainable practices that ensure the well-being of our donkeys and the environment, promoting a cooperative relationship between people and animals.
We recognize the invaluable role donkeys play in our community. For centuries, they have supported humanity as trusted companions, assisting in work that uplifts lives and enriches the land. At Burro Verde (formerly Burros & Artes), we strive for cooperation rather than exploitation, allowing donkeys to grow in their roles while contributing to the well-being of both nature and the people they serve. Join us in this beautiful journey of connection, creativity, and conservation, where every visit helps support our mission of harmony with nature and the well-being of our beloved donkeys.
