Peaches

4 yr old Donkey

In Rehabilitation
Peaches and another donkey, a 6 month old foal, were taken into emergency protective custody by animal control in April, 2021. There was also a third donkey on the property that was kept in the same trash-filled, 15 ft round pen as these two, but sadly this other donkey died on site. Unfortunately Peanut, the foal, did not make it either. She was very thin, hardly more than hair and bones, and could not even stand up on her own when she arrived at the rescue. Her body was unable to overcome the effects of her starvation.

Considering the circumstances, Peaches has been doing well. She was underweight and was also extremely dehydrated when she was taken into custody. We implemented a very stringent and cautious feeding program and have seen her blossom into a healthy little donkey. Peaches was hardly handled at all so we have been quietly gaining her trust. She is still a little shy and wary of people.
