NAME: David
AGE: 3 Yrs old BREED: Miniature Donkey HANDS: INJURIES/RESTRICTIONS: None. HISTORY: David was an easy decision and we did seek him out for protection of our herd. The coyotes in our area can be troublesome and they were getting more and more brave so we wanted a donkey or mule to protect the herd. Enter David! He came with a few of his barn friends and as you can see from the pics above he is very close to his bestie Herkimer. SKILL SET LEVEL: David is a bit more on the serious side than Herkimer but he is still friendly, enjoys a soft scratch and attention when he’s ready for it. He may walk away at first but if you stand still for a few minutes David will come back and lean up against you and let you love on him. We are so, so happy to have him at the rescue and can say he has already made the herd feel safer. He is a hard worker and is always on top of his guarding job. DIET: David is on a simple diet of mixed grains and 24/7 hay MORE ABOUT David: Although David is a little more on the serious side than his bestie Herkimer he offers an amazing shoulder to cry on or a quiet and kind ear to listen to as many of us have been found leaning up against him or sitting on the ground with him leaning on us ‘just being’. He has a very calming demeanor about him and he makes for a great therapist, coffee partner in the morning and just an all around good buddy. He has been a perfect gentleman since his arrival and we are so pleased to have him. We love us some David!
