Suede thought using his feeder was the best way to scratch his rump. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ And we wonder why things are always breaking...

Did you know???
Donkeys have horizontal pupils that give them a larger range of sight. Donkeys can see 320-360 degrees around them 🤯🤯🤯

Thank you, Buckey, for posing for this learning opportunity 😄

Researches are finding something we knew all along: Horses are smart 😄

It's hoped the findings lead to more humane horse training regimes and improvements to welfare.

Benny's recent adventures to Science Camps and Vacation Bible Schools have us looking into where he can visit this school year. If you would like to see Benny at your school, put in a good word for us and send our information their way!
Benny has visited several schools, libraries, churches, and more. We love giving presentations on donkey characteristics, reading fun books like The Wonky Donkey, and teaching our next generation about compassion for animals and why there is a need for rescue.

A lot of wildlife is calling TMR home recently. We have new baby geese and ducks that are surrounding our facility, a family of barn swallows at the gift shop entrance, a family of foxes, as well has at least two male deer that have been hanging around our adoptable pasture.
Come get a chance to be around nature at our Donkey Walk on Saturday or on a tour!

Our newest baby girl was born July 16th and is a whole 2 weeks old today.
Mommy, Apphia, and three other donkeys came to us in March. These four (2 pregnant females, one gelding, and one jack) were relinquished by their owner that could no longer take care of them. We're expecting another baby any day from Skye, the other pregnant female.

Luckily, there is already an adoption application in for Apphia and her baby. We will keep you updated on if that application gets approved and what they name the new baby girl.

25/07/2024

Meet Henry!
Henry is new to TMR and was relinquished after his buddy passed away.

This guy is super friendly. We will have him quarantined for the next 30 days per procedure and started on a diet immediately. Luckily he is already gelded and will be easy to introduce to our herd. He might even join us on or Donkey Walks starting in September 😁

Did you know that 90% of donkeys in the state of Texas are overweight or obese? That is because they are naturally desert animals and they will over eat if left on pasture. We always suggest our adopters keep that in mind when they get an animal from us. We suggest all donkeys be kept on "dry lots" or "sand lots" with occasional grazing time. If that is not possible, grazing muzzles can be utilized and help save the animal from issues obesity can cause.

Please consider donating to help out Henry and the other 350 that currently call TMR home.

Happy 1st Birthday Haggis Mack! 🥳🥳🥳
This goof was one of our first babies born from the kill pen moms last year. We are happy to announce his mom was just adopted and will be going to her new home when training is complete. Haggis Mack is bonding nicely with one of our February arrivals, Max, who was estimated around 2 years old.
This boy still has some of the longest ears we've seen on a baby. If you are interested in adopting, he would love a forever home 💙

*Adoption Feature*
Say hello to Virgil! This sweet boy was gelded two months ago with an adoption scheduled, but they backed out after training was complete 💔
Virgil is VERY social. He is always the first up to the fence for a treat and some love.

If you are interested in adopting him please email us! [email protected]

Look at this little guy bucking for attention! This is one of our newest babies from the rescued pregnant mommies from last May.

Zoomies!

One of our kill pen mommies recently had her baby, and boy does he have the zoomies!

Vega was given access to a new pasture this week. This old girl is still capable of zoomies! 🐴🥰 #horse #rescue #percheron #senior #equine #zoomies

JJ and Kid Rock

JJ and Kid Rock were stirring up some jealousy in Shed Row over this weekend. We'd love to have a few more of these so more of our animals have toys! Even better, bring one with you to a tour or donkey walk and we'll let you give it out! https://www.amazon.com/Horsemens-Pride-Horse-Jolly-Ball/dp/B0006G57YM/ref=sr_1_5?crid=15B2TW6HB946O&keywords=jolly+ball+equine&qid=1687883802&sprefix=jolly+ball+equine%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-5 #playtime #donkey #fun #toys #tour #support #donate

Haggis Mack

Haggis Mack, Iris's baby named by the family sponsoring him, has been doing okay, but not quite as well as Dreamy. Earlier this week, Haggis Mack seemed weak and the medical staff were growing concerned. We observed that he might not be getting enough milk from mom, and put him on a supplemental milk replacer. Since then, Haggis Mack has gone back to his normal self. ❤❤❤ #12daysold #baby #donkey #breastfeeding #breastmilk #formula

Beating the heat with Iris's baby, newly named Haggis Mack by his sponsors. Babies have a hard time regulating body temperature so young, so we were given instruction by our veterninarian to give him a quick bath to cool him down. He found the fan to be a cooling adventure. 😁 #baby #hot #TexasHeat #9daysold #cooldown

Iris and baby boy

Thank goodness for the weekend! We've done a lot of rescues this week, finishing up with these three minis. These girls are going to be adopted so fast! They are minis and have the friendliest demeanors. Just look at how quickly and calmly they came off the trailer-easiest unloading of the week! #cute #mini #minidonkey #donkey #rescue #adoption #adopt

The mini horse that came in last week is newly named Boure. Our farrier did a stellar job with his hooves on Monday. It's amazing what 12 minutes of farrier work can do to change an animals life. Luckily for Boure, there are no obvious lasting effects from his neglect. He will be more prone to arthritis in his later years, but there are no special shoe requirements currently. Despite obviously never seeing a farrier in his life, Boure was a very good boy while getting his feet trimmed. He did minimal kicking and the relief was obvious in his eyes as soon as we were done. He's obviously easily trained and adoptable in our eyes, come meet him for yourself if you are interested! #farrier #minihorse #goodboy #feet #comfort #horse #saved #rescued #donate #nonprofit #ThisIsHowWeDoIt

Iris still hasn't let go of that baby! Watch til the end when she finds the camera 😂 #pregnant #baby #MothersDay #donkey #rescue #pregnantforever #letitgo #cute

BABY ANNOUNCEMENT New baby born this morning between 8 and 10am. We are calling her Stormy because she was born with this morning's storm 🥰🥰🥰 #baby #new #mommy #0daysold #donkey #rescue

Ernie and Arnold delivered to their forever home 🥰

Eat. Sleep. Poop. Life is rough with so many mommies looking out for you. #baby #12DaysOld #Legs #Mommy #Rescue #Milk

Our baby is home! Thank you all for your best wishes and thoughts. Born last Saturday to mommy Aster, our Earth Day baby was rushed into Waller Veterinary Hospital after staff noticed something was not right. Baby received IV antibiotics and was specially fed to prevent aspiration. Her legs were hyperextended from birth and are healing well. Baby, nicknamed "Puddin", will be on oral antibiotics for the time being and will be kept under observation in our Medical Barn for now. Aster is obviously a young mom, but she is doing a great job protecting her little girl. #mommysgirl #donkey #rescue #veterinarymedicine #care

Keep an eye out on Saturday's Volunteer Appreciation Week post for an announcement about this handsome spunk! #6daysold #baby #donkey #mamasboy #nursing #breastmilk #breastfeeding #nonprofit #gift

Niko, a little over a year old, and Felix, born in September, got a play date this week. These goofy adolesents are growing up too fast! #Equine #Donkey #BestFriends #playdate #playtime #boys #equestrianlife #FantasticFriday #stayyoung
