There are 20 miniature donkeys in need of forever homes.
Triple R Horse Rescue in Arizona announced it will be
receiving a shipment of the adorable animals -- and are anxious to find
families and animal lovers to step up and adopt.
More than 160 of the donkeys wound up at a Texas rescue
after a "breeding situation" occurred, according to the rescue's president,
Ken Bacher. About 20 of them are headed to the ranch in Cave Creek, Arizona as
a result.
The donkeys come in a multitude of petite sizes and colors.
"Miniature donkeys are 'herd' animals," according
to the National Miniature Donkey Association http://www.nmdaasset.com/.
"To avoid undue stress and loneliness, it is strongly recommended they not
be kept singly but with another Miniature Donkey or other animal as a life-long
friend."
So, maybe you should go for two.
Those interested in adopting a mini donkey should visit
www.triplerhorserescueaz.com and fill out an adoption application. There is a
$400 adoption fee for each animal.
Donkey owners will be chosen by lottery.
