SUNDANCE
Donkey Gelding
Age: c. 21
Arrival: 2011
Current status: Sanctuary
CURRENT SPONSORS:
ASSIGNED VOLUNTEERS:
History: BLM burro probably from the Clark Mountain HMA in
Nevada. Sundance is one of our earliest intakes; he was saved
from a life as a roping donkey after going through the BLM sale
authority program. He must have gone through a lot of
traumatic experiences before coming to us, including - very likely
- being gelded without anesthesia.
Personality: Sundance has a very gentle and sweet personality but needed a long time to become comfortable with people. He is very bonded with Luella, a much younger jennet whom he first met when he arrived at our current facility in 2019 after many years in foster homes. He currently is the only gelding in a herd of 5 and very happy about his situation, although he also likes to play and wrestle with other boys.
Diet: Despite his advanced age, Sundance still does very well on a diet of bermuda grass hay and barley straw. His herd has a salt and trace mineral block and occasionally gets a tub of Equilix minerals. Sponsor Sundance here!
