NAME: Herkimer (Hurk-uh-mur) aka “Herc”
AGE: 3 Yrs old BREED: Miniature Donkey HANDS: INJURIES/RESTRICTIONS: None. HISTORY: Herc came with a few others to the rescue and we fell in love with him IMMEDIATELY. Who knew having a donkey would be so therapeutic and entertaining and easy! We may have just jinxed ourselves there! We originally asked for Herc and his brother David to join our herd as we had many coyotes in the area and they were getting closer and closer to our property even in the daylight so we brought the two home and haven’t seen or heard from them since! SKILL SET LEVEL: Herc has been labeled the rescue’s therapist. He is not only an excellent listener but he truly enjoys being supportive for others. Any one of us can be found sitting with and hugging Herc, maybe crying a little if we’re having a hard time or just needing a moment of peace and quiet and Herc is RIGHT THERE nearly sitting on top of you letting you know you can lean on him, quite literally. He is gentle and approachable with adults and humans and loves to sing every once in a while. DIET: Herc is on a simple diet of mixed grains and 24/7 hay MORE ABOUT Herkimer: He loves treats (duh!), but doesn’t obsess over them, he does not care for watermelon as much as the others but does enjoy apples and other snacks. He will be joining us in upcoming parades and events and is a regular at the nursing homes and care facilities because he is SUCH an amazing support animal. We think he’s simply amazing and adorable and we cannot get enough of him! HERKIMER FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
