Simon

Not much is known about Simon’s life before coming to the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada (DSC), other than he and two other donkeys were originally rescued by a lady who saw them at an Equine auction and bought them. Not realizing the immense training and specialized care the three donkeys needed, she contacted the DSC to see if we could give the donkeys a lifelong home. Simon and the other two donkeys arrived in the late spring of 2018.

Carrie

Carrie is a small dark brown hinny, born on May 14, 2017. Carrie is only the second hinny 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 was sold, the new owner decided to keep all the animals as well, but they soon realized that they did not have the time to give Carrie and Chloe the needed training, attention and care.
