It is the largest donkey rescue organization in the United States with 24 sanctuaries and 26 adoption centers nationwide. It shelters around 3,000 donkeys, providing food, water, medical care, gentling, training, and adoption services.[2][3] The organization has rescued a total of over 8,000 donkeys.[4] Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue was founded in 2000 by husband and wife, Mark and Amy Meyers, on their small ranch in Acton, California. It received nonprofit status in January 2001. By October of that year, the organization had rescued 40 donkeys and adopted out half of those.[5] In 2005, Mark and Amy Meyers moved the operation to an almost 100-acre property near Tehachapi, California. By 2006, the property held around 250 rescued donkeys.[6] In 2008, the organization entered into an agreement with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to rescue feral or abandoned donkeys in Big Bend Ranch State Park.[7] In 2011, it was responsible for nearly 800 donkey rescues, 700 of which occurred in Texas. In 2012, Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue moved its main headquarters to a 172-acre facility (a former dairy farm) in San Angelo, Texas. It was operating 15 adoption centers serving 27 states by 2013.[8][9] The organization earned accreditation from the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries in July 2016.[10] In May 2018, it entered into an agreement with the National Park Service to rescue and remove up to 2,500 wild donkeys from Death Valley National Park and the Mojave National Preserve as part of the Wild Burro Project.[11][12][13] References1. ^{{cite news | last=Lindgren| first=Stephanie| title =Peaceful Valley Rescues Over 200 Miniature Donkeys From One Location |newspaper =| publisher =San Angelo LIVE| date =February 17, 2016 | url =https://sanangelolive.com/news/san-angelo/2016-02-17/peaceful-valley-rescues-over-200-miniature-donkeys-one-location| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 2. ^{{cite news | last=Burnett| first=John| title =Amid Growing Threats, Donkey Rescuers Protect The Misunderstood Beasts Of Burden| publisher =NPR| date =June 18, 2017 | url =https://www.npr.org/2017/06/18/533271568/amid-growing-threats-donkey-rescuers-protect-the-misunderstood-beasts-of-burden| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 3. ^{{cite news | last=Yossifor| first=Yfat| title =Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue grows to 24 sanctuaries, 26 adoption centers|newspaper =San Angelo Standard-Times| publisher =| date =January 15, 2018 | url =https://www.gosanangelo.com/story/news/local/2018/01/15/peaceful-valley-donkey-rescue-grows-sanctuaries-adoption-centers-going-strong-train-and-adopt-donkey/1025065001/| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite news | last=Lawlor| first=Vera| title =Why This Couple Is So Passionate About Rescuing Donkeys|newspaper =| publisher =Care2| date =July 21, 2017 | url =https://www.care2.com/greenliving/why-this-couple-is-so-passionate-about-rescuing-donkeys.html| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 5. ^{{cite news | last=Fausset| first=Richard| title =Rescuers Help Ease Burros' Burden|newspaper =Los Angeles Times| publisher =| date =October 15, 2001 | url =http://articles.latimes.com/2001/oct/15/local/me-57476| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news | last=Burger| first=James| title =Couple get a kick out of donkeys |newspaper =The Bakersfield Californian| publisher =| date =June 25, 2006 | url =http://www.bakersfield.com/news/couple-get-a-kick-out-of-donkeys/article_08e6c9b5-624b-574d-bed9-fd923c27a892.html| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 7. ^{{cite news | last=McLeod| first=Gerald E.| title =Day Trips|newspaper =The Austin Chronicle| publisher =| date =May 30, 2008 | url =https://www.austinchronicle.com/columns/2008-05-30/629481/| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 8. ^{{cite news | last=Gordon| first=Ed| title =Tehachapi donkey rescue is relocating|newspaper =The Bakersfield Californian| publisher =| date =September 3, 2012 | url =http://www.bakersfield.com/news/tehachapi-donkey-rescue-is-relocating/article_ca14e3b4-d8e6-5c2f-8c35-b6e5c088050a.html| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 9. ^{{cite news | last=Hyde| first=Joe| title =Saving Donkeys|newspaper =| publisher =San Angelo LIVE| date =December 25, 2013 | url =https://sanangelolive.com/news/san-angelo/2013-12-25/saving-donkeys| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 10. ^{{cite news | last=| first=| title =Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue earns accreditation |newspaper =Desert Valley Times| publisher =| date =July 14, 2016 | url =https://www.thespectrum.com/story/news/local/mesquite/2016/07/12/peaceful-valley-donkey-rescue-earns-accreditation/87017358/| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 11. ^{{cite news | last=Brean| first=Henry| title =Park Service signs deal to round up Death Valley’s wild burros|newspaper =Las Vegas Review-Journal| publisher =| date =May 17, 2018 | url =https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nation-and-world/park-service-signs-deal-to-round-up-death-valleys-wild-burros/| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 12. ^{{cite news | last=Nehrenz| first=Teri| title =A blustery day for the burros|newspaper =The Mesquite Local News| publisher =| date =March 8, 2018 | url =http://mesquitelocalnews.com/2018/03/blustery-day-burros/| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 13. ^{{cite news | last=| first=| title =Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue to Lead Death Valley's Wild Burro Project|newspaper =| publisher =PR Newswire| date =November 21, 2017 | url =https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/peaceful-valley-donkey-rescue-to-lead-death-valleys-wild-burro-project-300559550.html| accessdate =July 4, 2018}} 5 : Animal rescue groups|2000 establishments in Texas|San Angelo, Texas|Donkeys|501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations |
