No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted

The following is a post from Save Your Ass Longears Rescue.

What a beautiful May it has been! The apple trees have been in full show-off bloom, followed by the sweet smelling lilacs and lily of the valley. Birds are singing and feeding their young, creating a lot of activity at the feeders. The mules are almost all shed out and the donkeys…well, the donkeys still have their fuzzy coats, which they seem to like to hold on to for as long as possible.

Adoptions have started to pick up a bit, which is a great thing. I so want each animal to have their own person to dote on them. Our beloved curly mule, Jo, will be going to her new home in a week or two, as will donkeys Holly and Nacho. I know their new people will be in love with these three in short order.

Sweet William, the thirty-year-old mule who came in last month as a one on the Henneke scale, has put on a substantial amount of weight and is actually starting to look GOOD!

He is one sweet mule, and his improvement is a direct result of the kind and generous donations so many of you have made. It’s not cheap to bring an animal that is emaciated back up to a healthy weight. He is now eating three meals a day, instead of four, and has a shiny, healthy new coat coming in. He is a LOVE BUG and enjoys nothing more than to be next to a person willing to rub his big ole head. I am confident there is someone out there who would like to share their life with this old man. He is in good health, has a strong ticker, no joint issues, and will make a great companion. Once he is puts on a bit more weight he will be available for adoption.

I hope you and your long ears are enjoying this beautiful weather and are able to get out on the trails to ride or walk or just spend time cuddling in the pasture.
