Charlie and George came to MMFS in August of 2022 from our friends at Rising Star Horse Rescue in CT. These two special donkeys came from the BLM where they once lived in the wild. They were rounded up and placed with owners who threw them out to pasture for a year, and then they proceeded to send them to an auction/slaughter. They were rescued and made their way to Rising Star to start a new life – a new life of domestication after being taken from the wild and then kind of dumped again. Our barn is quiet and we have the time to help them learn that humans will not hurt them. Charlie is about nine years old and George is around three. They lack trust in humans, but each day gets a little easier.
