All the donkeys and mules needing grain at SYALER are fed Blue Seal Sentinel Performance or Blue Seal Sentinel Senior. We buy all our grain at Community Feeds in Westminster, VT. You can buy bags of grain for the animals at the rescue when you visit Community Feeds and we will pick them up on our next grain run. This is a great way to help the long ears at the rescue, even if you can only buy one bag of grain.

There are many ways that you can held support the animals at the rescue and the work that SYA does.

Adopt: Being able to provide a loving home for a donkey and/or mule in the rescue will create space for another long ear the needs SYA's help. Visit the Adoption Info page to find out more about adopting from us and check out the For Adoption page to see which animals are currently available.

Volunteer: Volunteers are always needed and there are many different things that we need help with. Help cleaning pens is always needed but we're also looking for experienced equine people who can help teach basic ground manners to the animals in the rescue. We also welcome help from people who have experience in fund raising and/or grant writing who are willing to donate their time and knowledge to help us. No matter what your skills are we can put you to work.

Donate: SYA is run entirely on the generous donations from our supporters and community. Even a small amount helps to make a big difference in the lives of the animals at SYA.

WISH LIST

Trailer - Thanks to all of our amazing supporters who helped make the purchase of the trailer possible!

Kubota Tractor - (or similar) big enough to move large quantities of manure, hay, and snow.

Truck payment - Thanks to all of our amazing supporters who helped make the purchase of the truck possible. We now just need help with the monthly payment.

Breakaway halters - For safety reasons certain animals must wear a halter while turned out in the pasture. Using halters with breakaway leather crown pieces is the only way to safely do this. All sizes are needed to accommodate the large size range of animals at SYA.

Microscope and Centrifuge - Thanks to Dr. Ben Martin (Dept of Sports Medicine at New Bolton Center, Kennet, Pa) for the Microscope and Thanks to Dr. Corinna Parsons for the centrifuge!

Lead ropes - Heavy cotton lead ropes with regular snaps.

Supplements - Shredded beet pulp and crimped oats. We use Source HF, Elevate Vit E and Selenium, and Omega Horseshine for supplements.

Hay - Hay is always needed to feed the animals at the rescue. Especially in the winter, hay is an essential part of the diets of the donkeys and mules.

Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar - Apple Cider Vinegar is proven to help both animals and people recover from many different ailments. It also helps keep flys and biting insects away in the warmer months. Animals at the rescue receive Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vineger in their water and on their grain.

Brushes - Help keep the donkeys and mules clean by donating some brushes! Long ears love to have people brush and spend time with them.

Round pen panels and gates - SYA regularly needs to have separate pens to quarantine new animals or separate those requiring special care.

Computer - Thank You to Kevin Dremel for donating a much needed computer to SYA!

Tractor - Huge thanks to Barbara Postel for her amazing kindness and generosity in giving us a tractor!

Gas cards - Gas cards help keep costs down on the many trips we make to pick up donkeys and mules who need our help.

Wormers - All the animals at SYA need regular worming to help keep them healthy. We use Ivermectin, SafeGuard, Panacure, Strongid, Ivermectin/Praziquantal.

Swat - Swat helps cuts and scrapes to heal faster and keeps bothersome flies off the wound.

Postage stamps - SYA sells and regularly ships merchandise to help raise money for the long ears in our care.

Donations - Monetary donations are always needed. All animals are seen by the farrier every 6-8 weeks. When an animal first arrives at the rescue they are examined by a veterinarian and vaccinated against rabies and tetanus and wormed as needed. All animals traveling out of state need a negative coggins test. These routine expenses quickly add up and don't take into consideration medical emergencies that might arise.
