Lainey's Story
Lainey came to AAE with her very elderly gal pal after she was abandoned. Their owner was going through a divorce, and she left the two long-eared ladies with friends to help care for them. Sadly, the friends didn't have any experience with donkeys or proper care. After about six months, the friends moved out of state, leaving these precious girls behind. They were on an all you can eat diet of grain hay. Lainey was obese, and had a very bulging belly. She needed hoof care, badly, too, but didn't care to have her hooves handled.
After she was done with quarantine, she had her health and beauty day. Lainey had hoof and dental care, vaccines, deworming and a microchip. It turned out Lainey has two large abdominal hernias from being spayed, and her intestines bulge through the hernias. You can see them roll under her skin. She was also tested for Cushings, which was negative.
For a donk, Lainey is soft, sweet, and kind. She loves, loves, loves her humans, and she loves being groomed. She has the softest lips, and she loves to nuzzle you wherever she can. She's a volunteer favorite, and she gets lots of love and attention. Sadly, Lainey's ol' gal pal passed in the night after they'd been with us for several months, so she moved in with the mini horses for companionship.
Lainey is looking for a home with another smaller donkey or a mini donk. Her future friend should be easy-going and mild-mannered. Because of her hernias, he should not be in with bigger horses or other potentially challenging donks. A kick to her abdomen could be catastrophic. For now, she's living with her mini horse friends, but she'll be happiest with another donkey that she can form a new bond with.
In general, there is a lot of activity around AAE including foot traffic in and out of paddock/pasture areas, mucking with wheelbarrows, grooming and care activities, weekly farrier visits. There are resident dogs, cats, chickens, and mini horses, as well as various wildlife including frequent turkeys and squirrels in and around paddock/pasture areas. AAE is situated on the corner of a busy road with high speed vehicles, trucks, and sirens. Tractors are used in and around pasture/paddock areas, trucks deliver feed, and a squeeze is occasionally used for unloading hay. Neighbors have weekly gardeners that utilize various power tools, and children that are active in yards adjacent to some stall/paddock areas. Horses at AAE are accustomed to a more active environment as opposed to a quiet/sterile environment.
