We have an update on Betsy's condition. After Betsy had her teeth floated on Friday, she has been showing improvement. She has been eating more of her feed every day and she does get a short amount of time grazing on some grass. Thank you all for your prayers. Please keep them coming as she continues to improve.

So tonight our dedicated volunteer, Joanie, came to Crossroads to give Miss Pearl her regular treatments for her hooves. At times in last few months, Pearl has been a bit lethargic, due to pain and other issues. Well tonight Pearl was full of s***k and decided she would climb up on the hay bale instead of eating it! From a donkey that could barely stand, tranformed to a donkey mounting an obstacle, standing up high and proud! Made us laugh and makes us smile!! 🤣

The Donkey Express took an unexpected trip to TennSouth Veterinary Clinic today. Betsy, one of latest intakes, showed little interest in her food and we thought we had better take her into the vet clinic for examination ASAP. Thanks to TennSouth for squeezing her into the schedule today. After Betsy's exam and bloodwork taken, , it was determined that her teeth could be causing her discomfort where she didnt want to eat. Betsy had her teeth floated, along with some medication to give her some relief. Please send prayers and some positive energy for this sweet old girl.

Miss Judy is looking for her new home with her mother, Betsy. Judy is very loud and more active jenny, but she needs to be placed with her mom, who requires a dry lot. It can be a challenge to try to feed Betsy more feed than Judy. But Judy is very content with giving her love and scratches while her momma finishes her feed. Betsy and Judy are very easy, loving pair of donkeys. For more information on possibly bringing them into you lives, please message us for more information
Crossroads Donkey Rescue is located in Fayetteville, TN.

We had a family visit today to meet and greet with all the rescue donkeys at Crossroads. It was a birthday celebration! They came with bags of apple treats and a good time was had by all! Makes us smile!! 🥰

Today, The Donkey Express traveled to Thompson Station, TN to pick up a pair of jennys. Betsy and Judy's owners have recently been going through some difficult times dealing with a serious health issue. They felt they needed to try to place their donkeys in a safe place before waiting until they needed to scramble to find a loving home for them together. Betsy is an older small standard jenny and they were told that Judy is her daughter. Both are so very sweet! Easy to handle, leads and loads and good for the farrier. Betsy has foundered in the past so she needs to be on a dry lot and needs regular hoof trimming every 6 weeks. Crossroads will be looking for a loving, caring home for them as a pair. We will be posting more about these two and we learned more about them. We welcome Betsy and Judy to our Crossroads Family.

Our dedicated volunteer, Joanie, who has helped us with the training and rehabilitation of quite a few of our rescue animals, has volunteered for yet another project. She has started to work with Charlie. Charlie came to Crossroads as an owner surrender, who had him running with cattle and could no longer take care of either due to serious health issues. Charlie had been getting hooves trimmed but always needed to be sedated and it was even a challenge to get him caught. Joanie took up a new project to get Charlie to trust people and her goal is to get Charlie to get his hooves trimmed without the use of a sedative. Joanie's daily training sessions are having major breakthroughs in dealing with Charlie's trust issues. Makes us smile.

We had some isolated showers pop up today at the rescue. The donkeys did not even seek shelter from the rain. I think they felt relief from the hot humid weather and a bonus was a beautiful rainbow appearing in the skies. Feeling very grateful.

I tried to post this yesterday, but it didnt post it. Beautiful sunset that caught my attention with donkeys, Boo and Stanley, that had a red hue about them when i saw them, that brought the beautiful sunset to my attention. Sometimes, we need to take a time out to see the beauty of nature.
