Rosita

Before moving the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada Rosita lived on a farm in Thunder Bay, where she was a beloved pet. Due to her owner’s health and Rosita’s health, they needed to look for a new home for Rosita and contacted the DSC to see if we could provide that for her.
After a long trip, Rosita arrived on the long weekend in May of 2023. Rosita has had ongoing medical issues and once she arrived at the DSC, our veterinarian team began to assess Rosita. Diagnostic tests revealed that one of Rosita’s sinus openings was closed, which caused a lot of drainage from her nose. At the end of June 2023 Rosita underwent surgery to open that nasal passageway. Rosita has fully recovered from that surgery and animal care staff hope that she won’t have any ongoing issues any longer.

Rosita is a sweet little donkey; she is a little bit timid around new people. She was chosen to go to one of our Host Farms in 2024 and has been thriving under the care of her Host Family. She enjoys a quieter pace.
