Rudy is a gorgeous 7-8 year old gelded mule that arrived to SYA the end of July. He is with us due to no fault of his own or owners. The owners didn't feel they were giving him the time he deserved. What we know about him so far:  His previous owner had been ground driving him, and said he was good for being haltered and she was also trimming his feet herself and they look lovely! He has also been clicker trained and knows what maker signals are and how to target!

 

We haven't bothered Rudy too much since he's been with us as we're letting him get to know us. He is a little shy and wary of strangers, especially women but absolutely loves men.

Buckley is a large miniature gelded jack that came to us as an owner surrender. Buckley was treated very well in his previous home and it shows. He is a very sweet gelding who loves attention and kids. Buckley is a senior donkey but he doesn't act it! He loves to play and tear it up with other geldings. 

​

Buckley is being treated for some dental issues (EOTRH) and may need what's left of his front teeth to be extracted. He will have this done with us before being adopted. 

​

Porter is a27 year old large miniature donkey that came to us in the fall of 2023. He was very underweight due to the state of his teeth. Porter was not able to grind hay and was not getting the nutrients his body needed. He has since had 4 dental examinations, floats, and tooth extractions and can now nibble soft hay or chopped hay in very small amounts to keep his morale up. 

Because of the condition of porters teeth he will need to be on a mostly mash and chopped hay diet. He can also get second cut hay in a slow feeder hay net such as a Hay Chix 1" slow feeder net.

​

Porter would love to go to a home with at least one other donkey to be friends with preferably a gelding. His personality does best in a bigger herd as he really enjoys being the "leader" and takes that roll very seriously.

​

Porter is great for the farrier and veterinarian.

Porter is up to date on his vaccines and hoof trims and is ready to go to a home with another donkey to be buddies with. 

​

Whoever has the pleasure of adopting this sweet little guy will be required to continue his 6 month dental routine with Upper Valley Equine Services with Dr. Kristen Clapp in Chester VT. 

​

Adoption fee: $900

Phaedra came to us in the beginning of February in pretty rough shape. She was about 200 lbs underweight and in need of some serious love and groceries. Our veterinarian gave her a body score of 2.

​

Phaedra is located at Hannah's personal property right now in Marlborough, NH. Since being with us she has already started to perk up and is slowly but surely gaining weight.

 

So far she has been dewormed and will get her spring shots mid March and has already had her dental exam and float.

​

This gal is so sweet and deserving of all the love and attention. She loves to lay down and rest in the sand bed, and run around the pasture to frolic and play. 

 

 We are accepting applications for her now, but suspect she will not be ready until the end of March at the earliest. ​
