We are very sad to inform everyone about the passing of Hamish.
He was a true character and a firm favourite with all our visitors, staff and volunteers. He was only 20 years old.
He was one of the first to arrive at Donkey Heaven along with Seamus and Jethro and was part of ‘The Irish Boys’ who were always first at the gate to greet visitors.
His health over the past 5 years had been plagued the continual growth of sarcoids which are cancerous. He had many removed surgically, the last being in Summer 2023 when a large sarcoid on his lower ear resulted in his ear being removed on the advice of the Dick Vet.
He had over a year of a great quality of life but alas died early in October.
We all miss him as he was a very special Donkey and leaves a missing piece from the Donkey Sanctuary jigsaw.
Bless you and rest easy Hamish.
