Faith is a 10 y/o Mammoth Donkey who was badly neglected in the past. She came to Georgia on a trailer with several other donkeys from Texas and ended up at a sale barn. She was so badly foundered that she was unable to stand, her hooves resembling coke in size and shape. She was also mostly bald from a lice infestation. She came to the rescue and thanks to Marian Figley and, more recently, Jan Hester, her feet have been slowly getting better. X-rays show coffin bone improvement and she is much more mobile now. She loves to roam her dry lot with her donkey friends and has a huge stall with lots of soft bedding to keep her comfortable. Faith doesn't know how to be mean and wouldn't hurt a fly. She is the most gentle animal I've ever known and it's impossible not to love her.
