Dylan and his sister Sydney were beloved family pets before coming to the DSC. They had received regular veterinary and farrier care and were well handled. They came to the DSC when their owner decided wisely to plan for the animals’ future.
Apollo lived on a farm with cattle. When he did not show interest in the cattle and did not protect them his caretaker physically abused him and refused to pay for his hooves to be trimmed. The SPCA was called in to investigate. It was not long before the donkey was relinquished and the DSC was asked to take him into care.
Before arriving at the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada (DSC) Tequila lived with another donkey, a jack named Cruze, on a farm in Western Ontario. There they were used as a breeding pair and had several offspring. When they were no longer able to have offspring they were moved to a different farm, where they received very little care. The DSC was contacted to see if we could help.
Da Vinci lived on a farm which became a DSC Foster Farm. DSC’s Meegers was placed to be a companion to Da Vinci. The two donkeys bonded and when the property had to be sold, the caregivers were very concerned about Da Vinci’s future.
Oliver is blind in both eyes and only has one fully developed ear. Before coming to the DSC, Oliver lived on a beef farm. When a visitor to the farm noticed the young donkey pacing in circles in a small stall, she talked to the owner about purchasing the donkey.
Before being admitted to The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada (DSC) in late spring 2019, Franny lived on a loving farm with horses and other donkeys in Southwestern Ontario. She was well cared for, but her owners were getting older and were beginning to downsize.
