Before Chevy arrived at the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada (DSC), he resided on a farm with livestock in western Ontario. Chevy a breeding donkey. When his former owners restricted him from breeding opportunities, he developed some behavioural issues. He became more aggressive toward people. On the advice of the Sanctuary, the previous owner gelded Chevy, but his behaviour remained the same. They contacted the DSC again, and because they weren’t able to continue to handle his behaviour, they decided that it was in the best interest of Chevy to come to the DSC.
Chevy arrived in the late spring of 2020.
