MOUNTAIN VIEW FARM ANIMAL SANCTUARY RESCUE ANIMALS
Donkeys: Donkey Facts
MEET WALTER “WALLY” THE DONKEY
Wally is a young male standard donkey who has come to the sanctuary for a safe place to land, following an abusive and neglectful past.
Rescued from a killpen by a well- meaning family, that found themselves unable to care for him, Wally is covered in the scars and evidence of a harsh life in his time before settling with us.
He is weary in both mind and body but has a very sweet and curious natural nature, that we are sure will blossom as he heals.
