🫏🍼 Did You Know? A donkey's gestation period is around 11 to 14 months—longer than a horse! This long wait is why many BLM b***o adopters may not realize their jennys are pregnant, leading to the sweetest of surprises: a baby b***o! Long wait, long ears, totally worth it! 💕

With spring in full swing, it's the perfect time to celebrate all things foal-related, so stay tuned for more adorable and educational baby content from BRAY!

Please DONATE PROTECTIVE GEAR!! THIS IS WHY From a friend in Marshall NC:

( food goods) They have more than they can handle right now. Soon, I think the long term needs will be pretty serious. The muck was making the workers sick at first, they are now using PPE. A plastics manufacturing plant up river spilled liquid PVC and hydrochlocis acid into the river. I am headed to help a friend contain her small livestock today up in Spring creek. All of my livestock is fine. The property owners in Marshall don't have flood insurance because you can't get it as it has been a known flood zone forever.

A follow up to some of the organizations helping with disaster relief. Luckily they are overwhelmed with people attempting to help. Help them send their lifeline.

9/30/24 12pm Update: Mules and equipment are loaded, and the first big batch of supplies has been purchased and loaded as well. Thanks to so many for partnering with us so we can provide even more help!! We have two fully loaded trucks and 20' stock trailers heading to WNC for assistance!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻,
🙏🏻🙏🏻We have added our personal Venmo to use for those asking about helping now, as we keep getting reports of errors on the Venmo link we had listed. So you will see the link now says Michele Toberer. LAST FOUR DIGITS OF PHONE is 1383. We will put the other link back up as soon as it is resolved. All funds will be transferred to use for another supply purchase later today or tomorrow!

We have been overwhelmed with the amount of support and encouragement received about our efforts to pack supplies in by mule trains to those affected by Hurricane Helene. We will continue to return messages as we can. Many have asked how they can help. We're posting a Venmo link for Mountain Mule Packers to assist with purchasing necessary supplies and fuel for these efforts. Together, we can definitely make a difference to those inaccessible and in need! Again, we'll be headed out in the morning, and will continue to reply as quickly as possible to those in need!

Please reach out and sign up if you have room on your property for displaced equine. The Carolinas have been devastated and it’s important anyone ( especially close by ) provide shelter for displaced equine. Many have already perished in these terrible floods.

Please share everywhere you can think of. We need SO much help with this effort. Thousands of horse owners have been affected by this catastrophic storm.

American Donkey & Mule Society, INC needs our help. It has lost its annual grant to support its operations. Let’s all make sure the history of our humble friends is protected into the future.
