Little Teddy and Jose's owner had passed away and the family reached out to the Refuge for help. The owner loved and cared for Teddy and Jose for many many years and he wanted to know they will be safe in their senior years.
Teddy and Jose have settled in nicely and are excited about all of the new donkey friends that they are making.

Recent Dental Appointments resulted in Secret having three extractions, Foggy having 1 extraction and Skye having 3 extractions.
As the Donkeys age their teeth can become loose in the gums which can impact their ability to chew their food properly. Dental Care for our Senior Donkeys is a very important part of their Health Care.

Thank you for your kind support.
Our donkeys are weighed regularly and if their weight drops it can be concerning. Testing their blood, looking for dental issues or perhaps they are getting older and need more calories once the colder temperatures set it.
Stormy, Cotton, Abner and Kiki are enjoying an extra meal to help them gain their weight back.

We welcome new arrival Lisa.
Lisa's best donkey friend passed away and she was having trouble adapting to the loss. Lisa is a real sweetheart and is having no trouble settling into her new home.

We are keeping busy here at the Refuge. The Donkeys are now having their meals in their barns or paddocks depending on the weather.
We now take this opportunity to spread the Donkey Compost and then harrow the pasture to prepare for next year.
