Theo & Willow were both born here at HeeHaws. The fate that had been awaiting their mums, Lottie and Holly, doesn’t bear thinking about. When they arrived here, already in foal, they were very nervous around people. It took quite some time to help them learn to trust but thankfully we worked our magic and they improved hugely before their foals were born. Of course, their babies had no fear as they were born at HeeHaws!
Willow was a cheeky little rascal from the age of 6 weeks. Theo was very laid back and kind.
They were weaned from their mums and then in October 2021, Kevin and Lorraine took them on long term foster. They already had a couple of older donkeys that weren’t quite up for the lovely long walks that Lorraine and Kevin liked to go on. Both Theo and Willow fitted in perfectly and also enjoyed the lovely long walks in the rambling countryside.
Sadly Kevin became very poorly and they had to come to the tough decision to find homes for their beloved donkeys. They asked for our help of course and so we set about trying to find Theo and Willow their forever family.
We couldn’t believe our luck when Jo (our fabulous retired vet nurse volunteer) and husband Phil said that she was now ready to add to her little herd of 3 and thought that Theo and Willow would be the perfect addition. It wasn’t long before we transported them to their forever home where they integrated quickly and perfectly. What a lovely outcome for these special donkeys
