My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Lucy and Ethel - This pair of donkeys came to SHARE when their elderly owner passed away. They had been in a pasture with cows. We weren't sure of their ages (approximately 13 and 15) until a veterinarian had given them a health check. They are most probably mother and daughter and have a very close bond. Both are very loveable and easy to handle. Our farrier and we are working to have them more agreeable to having their feet trimmed - a work in progress.

We would prefer that they were adopted as a pair as they are very bonded. Lucy and Ethel's adoption fee is $900 for the pair. And are available for adoption within a 3-hour driving radius of Champaign County, ILL.

About Us

Our mission is to maintain the integrity, well-being, and health of hooved animals through education first.

SHARE is a nonprofit humane society established in 2005 in the Champaign area. We have investigators that cover a large portion of Illinois.

At SHARE, our goal is to help equines trapped in situations of abuse and starvation. It is also our wish as well to educate horse owners on how to properly care for their horses.

The humane society offers to help educate owners on the proper daily care and maintenance; vetting and hoof care as well as nutrition and emergencies. The society also rescues severely neglected horses and provides rehabilitation services and placement through adoption.

This is not an easy task; many volunteers are needed in order to provide this care and support. There are many people who are not aware of hooved animals that are abused and neglected. SHARE would like to inform people about this
