A photo of a donkey named Franco at the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada. He is standing in a field.

Franco

Born: 1994

Ontario

Admitted: 1996

Pinto

Standard

Gelding (male donkey)

DSC supporters became concerned about the fate of Franco and his companion donkey, Johnny when they responded to an ad. The donkeys were in very poor condition and it was likely they would be purchased by a slaughterhouse. After checking to see if the DSC would take the two donkeys, the supporters purchased them.

After arriving at the DSC both donkeys were gelded before being placed with the main herd. Franco has relaxed considerably with people. Nonetheless he remains shy with people and most content to mingle with the main herd and roam the fields with his equine companions.
