Poppy was a gray-brown Miniature donkey who was brought to The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada Farm in 1995. She was born in 1988 and lived with her mother, Pansy, on a farm in Eastern Quebec. When the farm had to be sold, their caretaker requested that they be taken admitted to the DSC for lifelong care.
In the years since Poppy’s and Pansy’s arrival, they have been wonderful ambassadors for the Sanctuary. They have been taken to fairs, to visit the elderly and the sick. and to church services. On every occasion Poppy was gentle and patient with all of the attention she received.
