I got several messages about this guy who was owned by a MS trader, so I snatched him up. Our good friend Fran from Crossroads Donkey Rescue in TN fired up the donkey express and picked him up Tuesday. Together they weathered the terrible storms that blew through TN on Wednesday. Then the donkey express was off again to take him to the University of TN in Knoxville. That is the same hospital that healed our sweet Savannah.
Luna’s story is a very sad one. Luna found herself at a PA auction where she ended up being purchased by a kill buyer. Luna was in excruciating pain from serious neglect in caring for her hooves. She was in so much pain that she did not want to walk. Well, either the previous owner or the kill buyer became very impatient, and she was dragged across a gravel surface causing a severe abrasion on her back leg and a terrible fear of people.

I received several urgent messages from TPDR supporters that there was a donkey owned by a MS kill buyer in need of urgent medical care. She had bald patches all over her body and was severely sunburned and had several skin bacteria and fungal infections. Our great rescue friend, Fran from Crossroads Donkey Rescue, helped us secure her and get her to the University of TN.
Fran woke up before the crack of dawn to deliver our girls to the University of Tennessee for an early appointment this morning. She’s certainly a blessing to these donkeys.
