KoKo is an 8 year old standard donkey that came to the rescue with his 11 year old sister KiKi. Their story is a sad one. They had all but been forgotten over the course of six years. They had been fed, but not properly, and both are on the chubby side. The care that all donkeys need and should have, had not been met. As a result of this their feet and teeth had been totally forgotten.

As you can see in the photos, their hooves had grown to the point of almost touching their knees! They were so long that after being sedated, they had to be cut down with a sawz-all, then trimmed up properly. This is one of the worst cases of neglect that TPDR has seen.

They are powerful photos and one of the best ways we know how to answer "why start a rescue".
