Well, there is no reimbursed funding, I'm afraid. We would be very happy to keep him if he had a sponsor.... We have the space and the facility, but no funds. He has been funded to buy him out of his hell hole and to pay his initial vet fees, but he needs a place to live in peace where he will be cared for properly. That includes de-worming him and taking care of his feet etc. He is very amusing and entertaining as a character. He could live a good few years yet as he is otherwise very healthy and sprightly. In due course, he probably could indeed carry a child riding bareback, just no more ill-fitting saddles or carriers. I disagree about people offering money for nothing. There is such a thing as 'the feel good factor' when we know we have done something altruistic and we can see the fruits of our efforts / input.
We like to keep track of animals we rescue to make sure they aren't further abused or neglected, which is why I use the term foster home.
Eyore is a neutered male, so though they might be okay together, I can't imagine his new carer is likely to want to take on another donkey. We have called this guy Papito.
