Eddie and Buckeye

Eddie and Buckeye are bright and friendly donkeys that enjoy attention and people. They nuzzle and lean against people they like; they are gentle with children and observant of strangers. Eddie is particularly good at working with clients that need a very calm partner. He will look softly at a youth having a tantrum and then will slowly move towards them. This has a calming effect and allows us to bring attention to the donkey and away from the tantrum. Eddie can display all of the stubbornness that donkeys are known for when a client tries to lead him, giving the client an opportunity to look for better ways to ask him to do what is wanted.


Buckeye is a little older and taller than Eddie. He tends to take a longer time to warm up to new people and he gives our clients good feedback on how he likes being approached and handled.  Once he is comfortable with the human he is working with, he is very compliant and will follow them anywhere.

Buckeye is available for sponsorship.

Eddie is lovingly sponsored by Brenda Doner.
