Little Longears Miniature Donkey Rescue has relocated to its brand new, 100 acre facility in New Oxford, PA.

Duties will include general barn work, feeding, cleaning stalls, barns and paddocks, helping with vet, farrier and dentist, turn out, grooming and handling of donkeys, and light training activities.

Salary is competitive, dependent on experience, and will be discussed individually.
