Donkeys Available For Adoption

 

(Check here for information on how to adopt)

 

Millie and Margo

ADOPTION PENDING!!!

 

Ms. Mille and Ms. Margo came to TPDR back in early 2005. Both girls are US Government BLM donkeys. They had gone through a nasty out of state horse auction just prior to us taking them into our care. Both were pregnant (yes, both were way too young to be in foal) and both girls lost their foals shortly after arriving here.

 

In December of 2005 they were adopted as a pair by a great family in western Michigan. Several month ago the adoptive family made some significant lifestyle changes and sold their lovely farm and relocated to a condo in another state.

 

The girls are now back at TPDR awaiting a new, permanent home. They are red roan standards that are a wonderful and curious pair. Due to the very loving home the gals have enjoyed for the past almost 5 years they have become a fun loving and confidant pair. A far cry from the little unwed teenaged mothers-to-be that I first met in 2005. Their current companion is an older quarter horse. They get along equally well with horses or other donkeys.  They are to be adopted as a pair only. They have been a pair since they were rounded up by our government, both lost their foals at about the same time, both enjoyed a great home together for the past number of years, and both are enjoying the same foster home together. So no, we sure will not seperate these two best friends.

Special thanks to Dave and Barb Sheldon, who sponsored Millie and Margo as a Christmas gift to each other, in memory of their donkeys Ray Charles and Blackie.

 

a note from Dave:

 

Thank you for the wonderful folder of info on Millie and Margo.  They are a particularly good choice for us since our Blackjack was also a BLM donkey.

He apparently had an easy trip from CA to MI because he was really a clean slate to work with and once he got used to civilization he was totally trusting and unflappable. 

We're glad Millie and Margo had a good home for 5 years.  They're gorgeous - hopefully they'll be adopted soon.  We made a note on our calendar to make another contribution in June - if not for their care, then to help other special donkeys.  You all do wonderful work!

 

Happy New Year!

Dave & Barb Sheldon
