Another new arrival in need - Mbia

Meet Mbia, an elderly ex-trekking donkey who came to us a few months ago. No longer able to work, her owner wanted to make sure that Mbia had a caring and loving home to enjoy her retirement.

She's such a sweet natured donkey who clearly was very well treated in her life. Very curious and interested in what's going on, she likes to watch what everyone is doing and chat to the other donkeys in the next paddock.

Although a little underweight, our vet soon sorted out the dental problems and her condition improved very quickly.

We haven't been able to find out exactly why she has such a strange name, but with her kind temperament and elegant looks, she's very much like a darker version of our dear Lorraine.
