Goose’s Story
The very first three donkeys we welcomed to Oscar’s Place in December 2020 were Goose, Pickles, and Shadow. Rescued from an auction by an organization in Southern California, All Seated in a Barn, they were just a few months old when they were brought to us. Tragically, their mothers had been lost in the slaughter pipeline.
Goose and Pickles became fast friends and were inseparable. They realized quickly that they were safe here and started to come into their own. Goose has barely grown since he arrived, so we think he must have some mini-donkey DNA. He is one of the most relaxed donkeys we have. He truly isn’t bothered by anything! When we use the fluorescent flags to move the herd, all of our donkeys except Goose go running. He just stands there, totally unfazed.
Without Goose, Oscar’s Place might not even exist. Ron completely fell in love with Goose and decided to commit to this work. Hundreds of donkeys later, we have Goose to thank!
The trio has become the Three Musketeers of Oscar’s Place. They play all day long, chasing each other in circles, and then collapse into a big cuddle puddle, legs crossed with heads on each other’s chests, sound asleep. They are the “poster children” of Oscar’s Place and will live out the rest of their lives here, free from the trauma that their mothers endured.
