Hello, I’m Zak the Donkey
I’ll be upfront with you; I can be a little cautious at first. But once I know there’s nothing to worry about, I’m actually very cuddly indeed. I was rescued alongside my dear friend Margo, and Oak Tree has meant everything to us both. I’m also on a bit of a health journey, with the team keeping a careful eye on my weight. We’re working through it together, one day at a time.
Why sponsor me?
When you sponsor me, you’re helping to support my health and happiness every day, including:

A carefully managed diet to help me stay in good shape

Gentle exercise and regular monitoring to keep me on track

A safe, calm space where I feel at ease

Health checks and any care I need along the way

Patient, kind handling from people I’ve come to trust
Your support really does make a difference to my journey – and I promise, once I’ve decided you’re alright, you’ll get a proper cuddle.
For just £30 for a one year sponsor pack, you can make a difference!
Your Zak sponsor pack will include

A Personalised Sponsorship Certificate
An official certificate welcoming you to Team Zak. It took me a moment to warm up to the idea, but I’m very glad you’re here now.

An Adorable Cuddly Toy
A soft, snuggly donkey companion to take home. Fair warning – once you experience the cuddles, they’re rather hard to give up.

An Exclusive Information Pack
All about me – my story, my friendship with Margo, my health journey, and what makes me tick.

A ‘Zak’ Keyring
A little reminder that somewhere at Oak Tree, a donkey who took his time to trust you is very glad that you waited.

A Postcard From Me
A postcard featuring yours truly – once I decided you were good people, I was quite happy to pose.

Regular Updates & Surprises
I’ll keep you up to date on how my health journey is going, how Margo and I are getting on, and all the small victories we celebrate along the way.
