Jake

Jake is a Standard Donkey whose estimated birth year is 2009. We heard about his situation from a concerned neighbor who had been trying to help him for a very long time. Jake had been locked in a stall for nine years with no access to turnout or other equines. His feet and teeth were also badly in need of attention. Jake’s owner finally agreed to give him up. He was immediately shipped to Cornell University Hospital for Animals, where he was thoroughly evaluated, treated, and gelded. He arrived at Equine Advocates on February 17, 2018. Equines that come here from cruel and unnatural circumstances, like Jake, do best in a sanctuary where they receive endless amounts of TLC and time to deal with their issues. Jake lives with Emma, another Standard Donkey, in a section of the sanctuary called “Donkey Serenade.”
