Pansy is a dun-coloured, Miniature donkey who was born in 1983. For many years, Pansy lived on a farm in Quebec and it was there that she gave birth to her daughter, Poppy, in 1988. Both donkeys received the best of care but, in 1995, their caretaker divorced and she had to sell the farm. She was very concerned about the donkeys’ future and so, when she learned about The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada, she requested that they be taken into lifelong care.
Pansy is a most agreeable little donkey and she is very popular with visitors to the DSC. When students come to the farm to learn about the animals and their lives, Pansy is always gentle and patient with their enthusiastic attention.
