This was brought to my attention by our friends over at Pet Saver's here in Shreveport. So if you are in the market for a donkey or a mini horse, here's your chance!

(near Athens, Louisiana... about an hour west of Shreveport, La.)

A man contacted Pet Savers asking for help with 50 donkeys that had been impounded over a period of time. He felt he could no longer afford to care for them and needed homes for them. They mostly "wandered onto the highway." The response from rescues and individuals was truly wonderful and he has reduced his donkey population, but still has a a lot left.

There is no way to feed all of them through this winter. He has had to sell some of his cattle already to have enough hay for them so he needs very much to find homes or rescues for them. The place he has them on is almost out of water because we have had no rain this summer. He would like to get $50 for the females and he's willing to give away the males (to responsible homes or rescues)... as he needs to get back at least a little for what he has fed them so far.

He also has several miniature ponies that he needs to find homes for. There is an adoption fee involved on these horses. He expressed that he hates to have to rehome these horses, but once again there is not enough hay.

If you need a donkey or two, or are interested in adopting a miniature pony, please call Keith Gantt in Athens, LA at 318 243-4885.
