About Dongee
Dongee's dam, Sweet Melody, was found estray by the sheriff's department. When her owners could not be located, the county turned her over to BEHS. Dongee was born in a foster home. Dongee found his forever home in December 2012. Everyone was interested in the new arrival, and it looks like the draft mule (Peggy Sioux) absolutely loves him! Congrats Dea M. and Dongee!!!!
Evaluation and Training
Dongee moved to a new foster in the fall of 2012, and they've been working with him. He now leads, stands for harnessing, and is learning to wear and harness when he works over tarps, ground poles, and other obstacles. His foster home says that if she could keep working with him for another month, she thinks a child could show him in hand. With his attitude, she says he'll be a great cart donkey when he's three years old (and ready to start pulling a cart). She says he's easy to catch in the pasture, picks up his hooves with voice commands and loves bath time! He ties well and loads and unloads from a trailer. Whoever adopts him will get a very nice donkey!
