*****

When the first big rescue group arrived at Oscar’s Place in January of 2021, Viejo was the first donkey to walk off the trailer. He walked right up to Ron, the owner of the sanctuary, and put his head on Ron’s chest. They have been best friends ever since. It’s hard to imagine how Viejo ended up at an auction. He is fully trained, walks perfectly on a halter and lead rope, and loves humans. He definitely came from a good home. His owner must have loved him, trained him, and taught him to trust humans — maybe they passed away or could no longer take care of him, and he ended up in the auction system. It is heartbreaking that he spent time in such a terrifying place. Viejo is not motivated by food or treats — he’s motivated by the companionship of humans. He’s also one of only two donkeys at the sanctuary who knows what a hug is and intentionally gives and receives them! Viejo is truly incredible. He will live out his life at Oscar’s Place, helping to train other donkeys and spreading love to every human he meets.
