Juliet is a gray-brown Standard donkey who was born in British Columbia in 1995. For most of her life she lived on a small farm and was cared for very well. In 2006, however, her caretakers became divorced. Juliet was moved to board at another farm but, to the concern of her owner, after several months it was discovered that the donkey was being neglected to an alarming degree. It was at that point that her owner contacted the DONKEY SANCTUARY OF CANADA to request that Juliet be taken into lifelong care. At considerable personal sacrifice, arrangements were made for the three-day trailer trip to Ontario.
Since her arrival, Juliet has settled in well to her new home. She is very much a ‘people’ donkey and clearly enjoys to greet visitors on Open Days. At the same time, Juliet is an assertive equine and be quite determined to get her own way if she sees something that she wants.
