A Little Bit About Me...
Shasta was rescued along with two other female donkeys just before they were about to be sent across the border for slaughter. Upon arrival, we discovered their severely neglected feet, so their first stop was the hospital. After a full workup, including bloodwork, chest ultrasounds, and hoof x-rays, they’re all now home and safe. We’re excited to give them the care and love they truly deserve!

CHARMING QUIRKS
Shasta loves to talk! She brays to us, to the other donkeys, and especially when she’s waiting for food!

Rescue Journey

Slaughter to Sanctuary: Meet the Soda Pop Girls

Just moments away from being loaded onto a truck bound for slaughter, we were able to rescue three incredible donkeys. We call them the Soda Pop Girls—Cola, Fanta, and Shasta. Fanta and Cola, who came from the same farm, do everything together, while Shasta hails from a separate location.

Soda Pop Girls: Healing, One Step at a Time

The Soda Pop Girls—Fanta, Cola, and Shasta—are getting used to their new rhythm at the Sanctuary! Each morning starts with a grain-filled stall, followed by haltering and medication time.
