Mini Donkey Companions

Mini Donkey Companions is an essential 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to enhance the quality of life and provide comfort to individuals facing dementia and other terminal illnesses.

Established in 2023, Mini Donkey Companions operates as a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(3), serving the community of Defiance, Missouri.

We bring our donkeys to you for visits.  We visit nuring homes, veterans facilities, private homes and community events. The donkeys and Cassandra have partnered with the Bev Roy Hope Foundation and will be featured monthly at the Main Street Memory Café in Downtown St. Charles on the riverfront.  The foundation’s signature event, the Main Street Memory Café is an innovative — and FREE — program for people experiencing the early stages of diminished memory capacity, and their care partners. It serves as a safe and comfortable space where participants can socialize, listen to music, play games, participate in fun activities and enjoy a healthy snack and interact with donkeys. Space is limited so contact Shelly Roy to RSVP or for more information 520-576-8894.
