Who wants to adopt two amazingly friendly, good with kids donkeys?!??

These two boys are still looking for their forever home!

Manny and Ralph looking for their forever home!

Manny is ten years old and Ralph is fifteen! Both geldings are absolutely perfect for the vet, farrier and love to walk!

Manny has cushings and takes 1/2 a tab of prascend daily to manage his levels! Ralph has no health issues.

This bonded pair requires a dry pasture with very little grass. They would make perfect hiking buddies!

If you think you would like to add these boys to your herd head to our website and fill out an application!

We’ve done the work for you! Here is a breakdown of owning a donkey!

We often get asked about the cost of owning a donkey. We've done the research, and here’s a breakdown of the basic annual costs. Adopting or rescuing a donkey means taking on financial responsibilities. Understanding these costs ensures we have responsible donkey owners who are prepared for the journey ahead!

Should you be concerned if your donkey stops eating?

While any animal not eating is a worry, donkeys can face serious health risks if they go off their feed for too long. Here's why: donkeys efficiently convert food to energy, making them prone to obesity and increased fat stores. If they stop eating for a while, their bodies break down stored fat quickly which creates high levels of triglycerides in the blood. When triglyceride concentrations within the blood get too high, they are deposited into the liver causing damage and in severe cases, even life-threatening liver failure. This condition is called hyperlipemia.

How you can help: Hyperlipemia can result secondary to primary illness (ex. colic), stressful situations, or an increase in the body's nutritional requirements. Maintaining donkeys at a healthy weight, performing appropriate metabolic testing and care, and ensuring immediate veterinary care when they stop eating can help prevent this condition from starting.

Thank you to the Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.
