S1:E7 Toe-tal Transformation

One of the most impactful ways you can make a difference is by sponsoring a donkey at Oscar’s Place. Meet our permanent resident donkeys and become a monthly donor!


After spotting a social media post, Ron buys two donkeys online — with a credit card. One arrives with the worst hooves Ron and Megan, the lead farrier, have ever seen.

Juniper’s feet are so deformed that even X-rays are a challenge. When images finally come through, Dr. Cronin confirms the condition is likely painful, although there’s no arthritis. Megan trims down some of the hooves, and soon after, Dr. Kerry delivers bloodwork results: unfortunately, Juniper has Cushing’s Disease. The silver lining is that it is treatable. After an exhausting week caring for Juniper and Willie Dallas, Ron and Megan visit Snow White, one of their most beloved donkeys they ever adopted out. Snow White brays and walks straight up to Megan and Ron. Seeing her thrive with her new family, helps give the team exactly the boost they needed.
