A Little Bit About Me...
This gentle giant of a donkey came to us as a foster with some tough hoof issues. But thanks to a lot of special care, he’s standing tall and loving life. While his best friend, Poppi, has sadly passed away, Compadre is still thriving, enjoying his peaceful days full of sunshine and cuddles. He’s a laid-back, affectionate soul who we’ve officially adopted as part of our Sanctuary family, and we’re so happy to help him heal and grow stronger every day.

MY RESCUE STORY

CHARMING QUIRKS
Compadre is incredibly sweet and loves to give hugs to everyone, except for Dr. Metcalf. He’s a bit of a troublemaker when it comes to the vet and can be difficult to sedate—making it tough for Dr. Metcalf to work on his feet. Despite his gentle demeanor, Compadre has some high-maintenance habits. He insists on having a special food topper, or he won’t eat his meals! As an older gentleman, he’s developed his own set of preferences (and vets aren’t exactly on the list).

Rescue Journey

Compadre’s Healing Hooves

Compadre, our elderly donkey, arrived with chronic foot issues that we’ve been managing with regular podiatry visits. For over a year, Dr. Metcalf has been working tirelessly to improve his hoof health and overall comfort.

Compadre’s Steps Towards Comfort

Compadre is an elderly donkey who came to us with chronic foot problems. For the past year, Dr. Metcalf has been diligently working to improve his hoof health. However, in the last two weeks, we noticed he was lying down more than usual, so we decided to investigate further during his latest podiatry appointment.

From Foster to Forever: Welcome Home Compadre!

In April, we welcomed two special donkeys, Compadre and Poppi, into our Foster to Heal program. Each brought their own story of resilience, but both arrived with the same goal: healing and hope.
