About Us

Dahlonega Healing Herds Sanctuary was founded in the winter of 2021 by Jim and Aimee Guidetti.  Donkeys have always held a special place in their hearts and they always dreamed of one day opening a sanctuary specifically designed to rescue abused and neglected donkeys. Educating and involving the community in this project has been very inspiring and to date, they have rescued and rehabilitated over 16 donkeys. All of which are thriving, healthy and happy. There are very few sanctuaries or facilities in the United Sates intended just for donkeys, they are truly a misunderstood and overlooked animal. Help us on our mission to save the donkeys one bray at a time.

Our mission is to specialize and to provide a  permanent home on our 10 acre facility with food, shelter, veterinarian and farrier care for unwanted and abused donkeys.  We strive to provide public education, rehabilitation, training and adoption programs for all current and future donkeys! We also invite the community to educational classes, various therapy programs, and social events with our donkeys.
