TWO BEAUTIFUL WHITE STANDARD DONKEYS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
These two handsome boys are well-mannered and well-trained. They are friendly and approachable, accept a halter, lead well, and load well on a trailer. The original owners took very good care of them and taught them well. But somewhere along the way. Things went sideways.
They have beautiful heads that are more refined and horse-like. This unusual feature has caused some confusion among many who thought they were actually mules, but their long ears, tail, and hooves confirmed they are definitely donkeys.
The bigger one is Tulsa. He has black skin. He is very shy, and it takes him a little longer to warm up to strangers, but he can still be caught. The smaller one is Dallas. He has pink skin. He's the complete opposite. He's a super-friendly pocket donkey and is always snooping in your business.
We know little about them besides what the most recent owners told us. We were told that one is 4 years old and one is 3 years old. No one knows which is which. So we're assuming the bigger one (Tulsa) is four and the littler one (Dallas) is three. They didn't have names when we got them, so my husband named them Tulsa (as in Oklahoma) and Dallas (as in Texas).
The people we got them from bought them from someone who had had them for seven months and had advertised them as sheep protectors. As it turned out, they are most definitely NOT sheep protectors.
As is often the case, young male donkeys play hard...very hard...it's what they do. The new owners had them with their sheep for about a month, and the donkeys accidentally killed some of the sheep while playing with them. That's how we got them.
We have miniature donkeys. The two white boys and the minis all get along great. We've had these boys for 12 weeks, and they have not let us down. We wish we could keep them ourselves, but finding donkeys their new forever home is what we're here to do.
They are currently with us at our Riverside, WA, facility, but will be transferred to our Spokane branch at the end of the month as there is interest in them in Spokane.
I attempted to post this earlier, but for some reason, it wouldn't publish, so I'm trying one more time and hope it publishes this time.
