San Bernardino Animal Care Department contacted the Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue at the end of 2023 and asked for our help. Because of a new law that took effect in January 2024, counties that have wild donkey problems can work with legitimate, experienced nonprofits to safely and humanely remove them.
We were issued a Memorandum of Understanding that December 01, 2024. As a result PVDR caught 256 donkeys in a very short period of time. Two of those donkeys came from Reche Canyon, both were intact males with life threatening wounds to their legs and the rest were caught in and around the landfill off of Timoteo Canyon Road.
