Siegfried

 

 

 

ADOPTION PENDING!!

 

 

Introducing TPDR Siegfried
 
This handsome Standard donkey is little more than a yearling. When he sheds his baby  coat he will be very dark brown/black.  This young man has been sent thru three different auction barns in two states in TWO MONTHS! He was peddled from sale to sale with his friend Hasta Luago a BLM gelding also now with us.
 
Siegfried was gelded on June 5th. and is available now for adoption. He has an issue or two. Was scared to death at the very sight of our stock trailer. We teach every rescue donkey that comes to us how load into a trailer. Well, he had taken several trips before coming to us, (the sale barns you know) and he was having no part of loading up again. He put up a valiant fight during several loading lessons. Kicking at us, and kicking the trailer once inside.
 
The poor lad is improving though. As we have all castrations done at the veterinary clinic instead of here on the farm (giving our donkeys an opportunity to load & travel several times in one day) poor Siegfried had to load for his visit to the vet. He got in really very well. But as soon as the door closed behind him, the panic set in and he proceeded to kick the trailer. Luckily, his trip was a 15 minuet ride. He was a bit sweaty from worry, but none the worse for wear! And he gets yet another ride this afternoon! He is a real fun guy to work with. Once he gets that it really isn't in his best interest to fight things that are worry some to him, he quickly adjusts his attitude.
 
This boy will only be placed with someone that looks forward to investing their time, talents, and equine knowledge in this youngster. He is NOT aggressive, and not fearful of people either. It is all too clear to me that he has a history of being pushed around by a series of people that don't know anything about donkeys/horses. He ties up very well, and gets along well with his donkey buddies. As he is just a kid, he PLAYS all the time. It would be ideal to place him with another playful, somewhat busy equine.

Siegfried and TPDR Jeffrey were recently moved to their new  foster home with Brenda Moyer in Mason, Michigan. Siegfried and Jeffrey are becoming fast friends and Jeffrey especially has become devoted to Brenda's mom. 

Soon they will join the Big Boys (Brenda's Percherons) and her 3 TPDR adopted donkey boys to learn how to become acceptable members of a herd. The education process continues!!!

If you are interested, please contact Brenda Moyer at 517-719-1370 or e-mail her at bmoyer@incorc.org  or contact Sharon Windsor at 517-623-0000 or email her at: akaminidonkeys@fnwusers.com
