Save our donkeys from Rabies in Trikala, Greece - Donkey Sanctuary (Cyprus) Campaign

Donkey Sanctuary (Cyprus) is trying to raise funds for the protection of donkeys in our Licensed Holding Base in Trikala, Greece after a report about rabies on animals in the area. There have been already 6 cases reported in the past few weeks so we hope we will be able to prevent this before it gets to the donkeys.

Local Ministry Vets advised all animal owners to vaccinate their animals in order to protect them from rabies. We want to make sure that the donkeys will be protected from this so we are asking for your help.
