Andrea's Animal Rescue & The Henrietta Foundation

Andrea’s Animal Rescue was started in August 2008. The charity was formed primarily to care for mal-treated Donkeys, as during this time, Henrietta, a female donkey who had several tumours, was rescued. She was in fact our second donkey, Lola being the first. Lola had not been adequately cared for by her previous Spanish owner. Henrietta however was found about two kms away from our home she had been abandoned by the side of the motorway. Her tumours were so severe that she had to have treatment in Murcia veterinary hospital with an estimated cost of 2500 euros for her operations. We commenced fund-raising and selling unwanted items at a local car boot sales. This in turn lead to opening of our shop. However due to her treatment and a blood disorder Henrietta sadly died. We could not let her passing go unnoticed, so we formed The Henrietta Foundation.
