While it's true that we're primarily a "hooved" animal rescue, there comes a point where we cannot turn our backs on the non-hooved animals of our neighborhood and let's face it - we want to make sure that all animals can find a nice "Forever Home". So, we've created this page specifically for the other hooved and "not-so-hooved" animals that come into our care in hopes they can share in the same successes as their equine cousins.
 Aitkin County Donks
The momma donk was foaled in 2003 and is large standard size, very friendly and halterbroke. She had very bad curled up feet that have been radiographed and trimmed but she will need continuing, frequent, expert farrier care to eventually get them back to normal. Baby donk was foaled in 2009, looks just like his momma, and will probably mature to the same height, he had long feet but a good trim brought them right around. Baby donk will need castration as soon as he gains enough weight. Both donkeys have been coggins tested, dewormed, and deloused, vaccinations will commence when health has improves enough. No names have been given to either of these donkeys, so naming rights comes with adoption!
Alpacas and Llamas
We've got alpacas! We've got llamas! And they're all available for adoption! Well, technically we don't "have them" physically - they're presently staying over at the Midwest Farm Animal Rescue. So, if you're thinking of adding a critter to your herd, contact Chris Kimmes (ckimmes@hotmail.com) to arrange a time to meet these interesting Camelidae.
 Benny Hill
This is Benny Hill, an approximately 12 hand, sorrel pony mule gelding. We are still getting to know Benny, gaining his trust and getting rid of his burdock collection. He loves grooming (which helps with the aforementioned condition) and treats, but is a typically suspicious mule and is warming up to us slowly. We have been told that Benny is a teenager and that he both rides and drives.
 David Attenburrow
Meet David Attenburrow - a rescue donkey from MHARF who is in at SLEVS to be castrated and hang out for awhile. Some earlier photos of him can be viewed on the FaceBook page of the MN Farrier's Association, since they trimmed his feet when he and his momma were at the University. They were in rough shape! He is halter-broke, very sweet, and cracks everyone up with his crazy voice (sounds like he's going to sneeze before his loud "HEE HAW"). Anyhow, David will be looking for a new home soon, so if you know anyone who might be interested, please contact us, or contact Dr. Nicole Eller-Medina at Siete Leguas Equine Vet Services for more info (320) 685-8730.
