Monterey

Before coming to the DSC in 2021, Monterey lived on a farm in the Kawartha area, where he was housed with cattle as well as ten of his donkey friends. They had no appropriate shelter, nutrition or care.

Monterey arrived at the DSC as a jack and DSC staff believe that he had fathered many, if not all, of the younger donkeys that were housed with him.

When he arrived at the DSC, Monterey had a severe abscess and our animal care staff immediately began treating it. After diligent care, he recovered from the infection.

At first Monterey was quite unsure of his new life. With time, patience, and gentle handling from our staff and volunteers, he has come out of his shell and adjusted to his new surroundings as well as the routines here at the DSC. He is a very sweet donkey.
