Our Purpose

Predation pressure from wild dogs, dingoes, and foxes is one of the most significant stressors facing farmers today. For many, the emotional and financial toll is crippling.

LSDP offers a real, proven, farmer-driven option.

We repurpose unhandled, wild-caught donkeys and provide them with structured training, exposure, and ongoing support so they can transition safely into guardian roles on Australian properties. These donkeys are not “pets” or “novelties” — they are working animals with a clear job: to stand between livestock and predators, deter intrusion, and help restore confidence to farming systems.

Our Commitment

No donkey leaves LSDP without:
• Appropriate training
• A clear pathway
• A safe home
• Correct matching
• A support network behind them

And no owner — whether farmer or family — is left without guidance, education, and ongoing help.

We’re not just placing donkeys. We’re building long-term partnerships, improving animal welfare standards, and supporting rural Australians with practical, sustainable solutions.
