My name is Rupert. Originally born in Ireland, I have spent most of my life with my donkey friend Paddington, in Whitehaven, on the west coast of England.  When my owners passed away, their family wanted me to have a safe place to stay with lots of donkey friends, so I came to live at the centre, at the age of 20.  I am an outgoing, loving donkey, who is extremely intelligent and determined.  If I set my mind to something, I achieve it.  Having lived at the centre now for over a year and a half, I have settled in nicely and have lots of donkey friends.  Recently, at the grand age of 22, I have taken up playing football with Bandit the donkey, which was a surprise to us all!
