21 yr old Appaloosa Gelding

In Rehabilitation
Montana is blind in one eye, possibly blind in the other eye due to cataracts. New to the rescue in November, 2022, he arrived with his donkey companion, Jed, from a home that could no longer physically or financially care for them. With Jed as his emotional support donkey, Montana is adjusting to his new home and caregivers. Because of his blindness and his dependence upon Jed as a longtime companion, these two will remain together. Montana is underweight and is slowly being introduced to a new feed that will provide him with better nutrition.
