Family of 3 1/2 donkeys finds hope and gets a second chance
Longhopes does it again!
When we got a call that three donkeys needed rescuing, we didn't hesitate. We opened our doors and welcomed this family to Longhopes. They all received vaccinations, deworming, vet care, dental care, and farrier care. Once they were no longer in pain from their previous neglect, we spent months training them on their basic skills so they would be ready to find a new home. We thank Living Springs Veterinary Care in Bennett, CO for the incredible care they provided and also to Splendor Hooves LLC for the amazing hoof care. We couldn't do it without you!
When Georgetta had baby Charlotte, she decided to stay very close to her and take care of her. Dusty and Forest were already very bonded and so they started to grow apart from Georgie and Charlotte. This allowed them to find a wonderful adoptive home just a few months after their rehabilitation. Georgetta and Charlotte found a home a few months after that, once Charlotte was old enough to leave the shelter.
For our training technique: we often do training one donkey at a time. At the begining of their training, the donkeys struggled being apart from one another and so all of them were trained together. As the days and weeks passed, they became more confident thanks to their training and we were able to do more individualized training.
We apologize for the wind in the video. It's definitely difficult to film and have no wind out here!

I absolutely love watching your videos. I am 71 and my unrealized, lifelong dream of keeping a pair of miniature horses has just been altered to a dream of keeping a bonded pair of donkeys. It's only a dream now, but I can sort of live it through you. I just wish there were more videos! I could watch these adorable creatures all day long, when the weather keeps me indoors, of course.
Love my job!
I just found this channel today and have been watching all of the videos. I don't know anything about donkeys so it's really informative and fun. And of course it's wonderful that all these cuties are being taken care of! 😊
Thank you all for your kindness.
God Bless you & your family, farrier & veterinarians for loving these beautiful Babies. Providing the care they need. Finding them loving homes.
I'm back again, lol. Every few months I make my way thru all your videos. So heartwarming to watch their stories unfold, especially for donkeys like Georgetta, Charlotte, Dusty & Forest whom you not only rescue & rehabilitate but also find wonderful forever homes. Thank you for everything you do!!!💝💝💝
You gals are awesome❣ I love donkeys. They are precious. Thanks for protecting them and getting them all fixed up. 💟💟💟💟💟
It hurts to see their hooves so overgrown. Thankyou for taking such good care of them. They're such patient & loving creatures, the part where they just stood so quietly while you flopped the cloth over their heads, lol--melted my heart.
Bless you guys! You ROCK!!!!!
💜💜💜
🙏🙏😍💜
Wonderful, heartwarming and so joyous!! I was thinking about how marvelous it would be to have a job or life at your loving donkey home!!! Room and board and I'll spend all day out petting and loving your donkeys.❤💕❤💕❤
You all are lights in this world. Blessings to you all. Thank you for letting us see them getting their hooves done. Seeing them hurt my heart.
Thank you sooooo much for your doing❣❣❣❣❣ You are angels❣❣❣❣💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

You are very gentle and caring with them. They are very trusting. A nice life ahead for them.
I cried with joy all the way they this video. You are earth angels. If only all humans could have love for our fellow animals. They are our sisters and brothers. 🥲❤️
Omg....i love these babies. I have been doing feral cat rescue for shortly over 26 years. I would love to spend my vacation time working with these precious donkeys. ❤
Wonderful video ❗❗❗
Super wonderful family that gives the best care to the family of donkeys:)) bless you all:)))))))))))))))))))
Yay! New upload. Thanks for sharing!
Oh they are so thankful for those beautiful hooves! They love the care and attention, too. Thank you so much.
Such a wonderful resource for animal love and care. Thank you ladies. Incidentally, years ago when my springer spaniel (Tammy) was alive - she used to simply adore munching away on the discarded horse/donkey hoofs. Tammy considered hoofs as something to munch upon above all else. What lovely memories I have of Tammy. Regards, Dave x
GREAT information here! I love how you explained what you are doing. thank you.
What wonderful work you do! Thank you & God Bless 🙏💖

just found your channel! omg, you ladies take such care with these sweet babies. love baby charlotte running around in her little coat! keep up the good work. i'll be back.
There's something so calming & healing about watching animals being well cared for. I come back to your videos over & over again because it's clear you have so much love & respect for the donkeys in your care, & it's heartwarming to see them all get a new beginning. 16:14 Little Charlotte in her tiny blue jacket, lol--so precious!
What a video! U could see the gratitude the day after they had their vet care...it was amazing 2 see how calm they each were despite all the strange sound's using machinery. These donkey's know they're being helped!...they have a long wonderful life ahead being surrounded by people who really luv them : )
The bay is a real gentleman

I never knew donkey's snored.😊
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
They are so beautiful! I would love to adopt a donkey!! How far are you from Michigan? We have a few cows and goats and lots of human love. You all are doing a great service! God bless!
I like your choice of music...
Will they have joint or other problems from walking on the neglected hooves? Also, are they sedated for their dental care? You guys ROCK!
Poor Dusty. Give him some oats and a bunch of carrots. Nice snoring by the way.
Just enjoying the cuteness. I know nothing about donkeys (or any animals, really) but this is a good place to spend some vicarious time. Do donkeys not get shoed?
Mani, Pedi and visit from the dentist!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I luv me some dunky’s
Where is Longhopes Donkey Shelter?
Thought tetanus was from rust..wouldn't think the dentist uses rusty tools???
you need microphones …
