PENDING ADOPTIONS 

PEARL AND NESTOR

---

Nestor and Pearl were surrendered to us on February 17, 2019, from a private home. They were underweight, and Nestor needed to be gelded at the ripe age of 23. To prevent breeding, they had been kept in separate pens two fences apart for many years. The only donkeys on the premises, they could see each other only through one spot in the line of trees around Pearl's enclosure. After a month of good feeding, extra senior feed and other goodies as well as two rounds of worming, Nestor underwent gelding surgery on March 8. He and Pearl were reunited two weeks later on March 23. Nestor's testosterone level is still high but expected to go down within the next 10 days. Pearl has skillfully put him in place thus far. They have an adoption lined up together at their current foster home.
