PENDING ADOPTIONS
CHLOE
Chloe came to us in early 2021 as an owner surrender case. She needed extensive hoof care rehabilitation, since her hooves had been neglected due to behavioral issues she had with farriers. After a period of training and rehab, she was fostered out to a home in Edgewood. She came back to us after 2 years and was fostered out again this summer to a home in Cedar Grove, where she joined our adoptees Bandit, Zorro, and Mercedes. After an initially difficult period of adjustment, her persons decided that she is ready for adoption. Thus, we are now preparing the paperwork for her.
BAMBI & WIDGET
Bambi and Widget are a bonded pair of jennets about 8 and 14 years old, respectively. Bambi, a former BLM burro probably from Arizona, is a recent intake, but we have known Widget since 2012, when she first was rescued in Texas and then shipped to a cattle ranch in Quemado together with a herd of other rescues to work as a cattle guardian donkey. We suspended that program by 2017, when the last donkeys on that job were returned to us because the new ranch manager did not find them effective on their job. Widget subsequently received ground training and was even started under pack saddle. She and Bambi have been together for 4 years in a previous adopter's home. (They were returned/surrendered in late summer due to no fault of their own.) The two girls now have an adoption pending to a home in La Mesa, just south of Las Cruces, where they will be enjoying the warm weather and good care.
