Let's wish Gus a Happy Birthday. He turns 24 today.
Gus is the third donkey who came into my life when he was 2 months old. We have had many happy years together and I am hoping for a few more.
He is the bestest boy and I love him.

I want to thank everyone who donated to the fundraiser. I am not able to thank everyone personally because Facebook isn't allowing to see each amazing person who donated. I want you to know that we really appreciate your support and are very grateful for your generosity. It looks luke we will even have enough funds for the castration. I will post pictures of the lucky guy!
Also thank you to all who shared this post.
Together we can achieve most goals.

Hello everyone,
About a week ago, we got a call from a person in tucson who owned 2 donkeys, has had them for about 5 years. Well after 5 years you would think she learned about donkeys, their health, behaviors etc.. well no!
Both jacks, 1 hasn't been feeling well for a while, no money to care for them, no trailer to go to vet, really she had no business owning donkeys.
I called our friend and partner Thonetta Wang-Bartlett and asked her if she would be willing to go get them, she lives closer and I wasn't able to get away. It seemed like an emergency.
Of course immediately she asked her son, Houston to go pick the donkeys up.
He took them straight to the emergency vet in gilbert.
The poor donkey had been starving slowly, the stronger one beating him up and fighting for food. His liver wasn't well.
The vet did blood work gave meds and sent him home. He died the next morning. May he rest in peace. Apparently he had been starving very slowly. Some people shouldn't own animals if they are not willing to learn how to care for them. I told the woman, she had no business owning donkeys. Even after 5 years she was ignorant and didn't recognize the signs of illness. We are also going to get the other unhandled jack castrated.
Anyway the bill was nearly 1200.00. Thonetta paid the bill and always helps us with any emergency cases.
I would like to try to raise money to help Thonetta replenish her emergency fund account.
Any donation is appreciated and tax deductible.
Please help if you can, Thonetta is always there for us, please be there for her.
We also have zelle [email protected]

Tutone is so funny, everytime they get a new bale, he uses it to scratch his belly.
Tutone is the 3rd horse that came to the rescue many many years ago. We promised the owner we would take care of him until the end. And as always we keep our promises. Tutone is half Belgian half quarter horse and is 29 years old. We have had him for almost 25 years. He has had a very easy leisurely life.

More info on Daisy and Grandma.
Both were halter broke at one point, we put flymasks on. We doctored Grandma, she had quite a few cuts and was covered in flies.
She didn't like it but tolerated it.
We checked for microchips. Couldn't find one on Daisy. We shaved the brands and sent the info to the Blm. According to their brand, Daisy 11 and Grandma 24. Hopefully we can find out more about them.

Meet Grandma and Daisy. 2 BLM girls adopted to an older couple about 6 years ago. Due to health issues, they were surrendered to us.
They were gentled at one point but have just been living their life on 20 acres free.
We will check for microchips and hopefully will be able to find out more about them.
Hopefully soon, they will be available for adoption.
