Carling

Carling is a sweet, pinto miniature donkey, who was born on May 10, 2009.

Before arriving at the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada (DSC), Carling was living in a very loving home with an older horse.  Unfortunately, he suddenly lost his horse companion. At that time, his owners thought it would be best if Carling came to the sanctuary. They were sad to see Carling leave their home but knew he was on his way to make many new friends.

Carling has adjusted well to his new surroundings and routines at the DSC. He is a lovely and playful donkey and has found many new friends in the miniature donkey paddock, with whom he spends most of his time.

Carrie

Carrie is a small dark brown hinny, born on May 14, 2017. Carrie is one of two hinnies currently residing at the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada (DSC). A hinny has a donkey mother and a horse father, opposite to a mule, that has a horse mother and a donkey father. Before coming to the DSC, Carrie and her mom Chloe lived on a farm in Western Ontario. When the farm sold, the new owner decided to keep all the animals as well. They soon realized that they did not have the time that Carrie and Chloe required. The DSC was contacted to see if we could provide the hinny and donkey with a forever home. Carrie and Chloe arrived in the early fall of 2018. Carrie is a curious and sweet girl with a little bit of a sassy side. Carrie has adjusted well to her new life at the Sanctuary.
