Turning Pointe Donkey Rescue Donkeys Available For Adoption

Meet TPDR Rudy. This handsome fellow came to us last fall along with former herd mates Sparky, Ben, and Speedy G. The boys have been in rehab foster homes since their arrival.

Rudy, foaled in 2002 is a very sweet gelding that is about 36 inches tall. He has a very passive and compliant nature. He leads very well, learned quickly to load and is a gentleman for picking up all four feet.

Rudy along with his three half brothers all came to us as a result of the passing of their former owner. The original herd numbered about a dozen donkeys. Several of the senior herd members have been kept by the family, and that left the four geldings in search of new homes.

The boys had a very loving home and had received excellent veterinary and farrier care. They were all gelded at a young age, so no left over jack issues to deal with.

The ONLY difficulty we have experienced with Rudy (AND THE OTHER THREE BOYS TOO) is they are very difficult to catch. I was told by the previous owners son that his dad went out each evening, sat with the donkeys and fed them a bag of carrots. The only time they were EVER CAUGHT was for the farrier and vet visits. They had ONE halter for the entire herd!

Sweet little Rudy will be a wonderful pet for someone willing to work on his CATCHING KINK! After all, he did learn early on NOT to be caught when he was chased .

I have met many donkeys in my life, BUT NEVER ONE THAT A HUMAN COULD OUTRUN!!! Things work much better when you teach your donkey to come to you!
