Lady is a gracious, dun-coloured standard donkey who was born in 1994. She lived for six years on a farm in Eastern Ontario along with three other donkeys. They were treated very well by their caretakers but, unfortunately, one of them became very ill, no longer able to go to the barn on a regular basis. There was no choice but to find the donkeys a new home. Although there were many offers, none was deemed suitable for the group of four.
Around that time, the caretakers became aware of the DONKEY SANCTUARY OF CANADA. We provide a loving home for the animals that are taken in and we aim at all times to give them the best possible care. Help was sought from the DSC and within a week the donkeys were brought to the Sanctuary Farm outside Guelph, Ontario.
Lady is a gentle, reserved donkey with a very soothing presence. Over the years her pal, Donkeschoen, and she have become inseparable. They graze together in the fields and then stand close to one another during rest periods. When the time comes for their regular grooming, each much enjoys the extra attention.
