Rescue donkeys find forever home in time for Christmas
A pair of young donkeys who were born at World Horse Welfares Belwade Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre, in Aboyne, Scotland, will today be celebrating their first Christmas in their new home together. Peanut and Popcorn arrived at the centre last year after their dams, Mia and Molly, were rescued whilst heavily in foal after being abandoned by the previous owners.The pair were born just ten weeks apart and were looking for a home together once they were old enough to move away from the sanctuary. Rehoming a pair of equines can be tricky, as not everyone has space to take two animals at once, but luck was on Peanut and Popcorns side and they found an ideal home at the end of September.Popcorn with dam MollyWhen Peanut and Popcorn went up for rehoming, someone I know spotted them and sent me links to World Horse Welfares website, explained rehomer Carol. As soon as I read their profiles, I thought this would be the ideal home for them. I did take time to consider it carefully before applying though, as I already had two donkeys and needed to be sure it was right for them too.After I applied, I was invited to the farm to meet Peanut and Popcorn and could tell it would be a great match with my two older donkeys, Duffy and Henrietta. Peanut and Popcorn have fitted right in and theyre such characters theyre very funny. Theyve really livened Duffy and Henrietta up and its lovely to see them all zooming round the field together.Peanut with her dam Mia Now, Peanut and Popcorn will celebrate their first Christmas in their new home. All my animals have a home for life, so hopefully this is just the first of many happy Christmases with their new friends, added Carol. I cant imagine them not being here now.Carol has always been keen to rehome animals from a charity, knowing how many are in desperate need. Peanut and Popcorn with their new friends I think its really important to give animals a second chance, she said. I know that giving Peanut and Popcorn a home has made space for two more horses or donkeys in need to be rescued. Its been a brilliant experience for me the Belwade Farm team were all really friendly and helpful, as well as very efficient. Id recommend rehoming to anyone.Anyone interested in offering a home to one of World Horse Welfares horses, ponies, donkeys or mules can find out more and see the equines currently looking for a new start here.Images by World Horse Welfare/rehomer CarolRelated contentJingle bell trot: The age-old link between horses and the sound of ChristmasOpen the Your Horse Christmas advent calendar!BETA warns against buying unfitted safety kit as Christmas presentsCracking hacking Christmas outings: Three riders community traditionsThe post Rescue donkeys find forever home in time for Christmas appeared first on Your Horse.
