Jennet (Female donkey)

The DSC had been aware of Cotton since 2018, after a long-time donor noticed that Cotton appeared unhappy at the public zoo she was on display at. For several years this donor and others tried to persuade the owners of the zoo to do something different for the sad donkey, until one day they had sold Cotton, and nobody knew where she had gone to or what happened to her.

Like many of the donkeys who find their way to us, Cotton had been bounced around to several homes over the past few years. Her last caretaker decided to reach out to us because she was concerned that Cotton did not appear happy living with the ponies at her place.

These days, Cotton is making friends with Phoenix, a recently arrived wild burro, helping her to adjust to life at the sanctuary.
