Homesitters Ltd Pets of the Month for August 2023 are these two gorgeous donkeys called Dolly and Aubrey.

Dolly & Aubrey's owners joined the donkey sanctuary rehoming waiting list in November 2021 - shortly after moving to their new home in Shropshire. After 18 months - during which time they completed their Donkey Training, rebuilt their stable block and replaced the perimeter fencing, two beautiful donkeys came into their lives after their previous owner lost her rented grazing field, so they could not keep them.

Dolly is around 14 years old, and Aubrey is about 9 years old.

Both have had uncertain past lives with at least 2 different owners that are known.

They are gentle souls, Dolly being the larger, older and wiser donkey, with Aubrey generally following Dolly’s lead.

After a cautious start, their true characters are gradually coming out.

They are curious and interactive, they love their new stable, enjoy a daily groom and hoof clean, and most of all love their donkey balancer pellets, and with a sprinkle of those, they become incredibly cooperative!

They are amazing lawnmowers, and thankfully, they have enough space to rotate their grazing and vary their views from day to day!

After only 3 months, their owners would not be without them, and also have the added benefit of a constant supply of garden fertiliser, which has proved very popular with their neighbours!

The owners look forward to many years with Dolly and Aubrey, and they know that their homesitters will love spending time with them.
