Joe Blow

 

 

08-21-08

 

 

Meet TPDR Joe Blow

 
 

He came to TPDR from a Humane Society that was forced to close due to lack of funding. Prior to that Joe was part of a sheriff's seizure in 2007. And even before that he was the property of the United States government!

 

This big handsome boy is a Bureau of Land Management donkey. At this time, I do not know where he originally came from. He is about eight years old, and was an intact jack when he arrived here on Aug. 7th. On Aug. 8th he was gelded and vaccinated. Then yesterday Aug. 20th he had his hooves trimmed.

 

He loads well, was good at the vet`s, certainly needed a cocktail for hoof trimming, and came close to having a heart attack when he heard the fly-spray bottle go pssssssst!!!

 

This big guy is not a mean or aggressive donkey. He doesn't know very much, and he IS big and strong. He will need time to forget that he was ever a jack. He more than likely had been used at some time to breed mares. Those days are now over for him. Hopefully his future will become that of a pet and companion for an understanding and caring individual.

 

It always saddens me to see how many of our wild burros and mustangs end up as just another animal to be gotten rid of.

 

I would consider the possibility of placing Joe in a foster home that has past experience working with BLM burros. Only someone that will show the patience and respect this donkey is entitled to. He didn't ask for the past he has seen, but he WILL have a better future.
