Moe

Frances and John Smith got up this morning, hooked up their horse trailer and made the trip from Ennis, TX to adopt The Three Stooges (Larry, Curly & Moe) and take them back to their new home. They have 61 acres, 9 of which are fenced pasture backing up to their backyard, two horses and a 6-stall barn with runouts. Both Frances and John work but Frances is able to work occasionally from home to meet the farrier or vet. Her aunt lives right next door and keeps an eye on the animals during the day while they are at work. They actually rescued a donkey awhile back who lives with their daughter (also close by) so they know what’s involved with bringing in these boys. Larry, Curly & Moe will have a wonderful life with room to roam, a job to help protect the horses , a barn to protect them from bad weather and a family who loves and cares for them. Looking forward to seeing these sweet guys on the Happy Tails page!

We give her free reign to rescue what donkeys she wants when she wants we just pay the bills.

She was working on these 3 male mini donkeys even before the adoption of Birdie and Bernice was complete.

Off went mama and baby and incoming these 3 boys happened within hours of each other

Millie:

Well did it again.. got a call the other afternoon from a woman out at the Bowie lot about a group of Jack donkeys that were being loaded on a truck for shipment to Mexico. What’s happening now at a lot of the kill pen lots is they are not even posting the Jack’s … no one wants them.. people can’t be bothered with gelding them so why waste time taking photos /videos and trying to move them. Just ship them out. The girl that called me just happened to be there and saw them.. she thought they all got saved when she came across these in another area. She called me. I called Laura and needless to say we had to help.

Welcome The Three Stooges to Dog Ranch Rescue:

Larry, Curly and Moe

(Just an interesting fact for those that don’t know … Curly of The Three Stooges would make it a point to save at least one dog in every city they went to and is credited for saving over 5,000 dogs!)

They are all a little older and I’ll get an estimate of their age at the next vet visit.

Larry has pneumonia and is being treated, Curly has a wound under his neck that has been cleaned and medicated.

Curly is a very friendly chunk-a-monk that will come up and ask for treats. Larry approaches more slowly but loves treats too. Moe, not so much but he’ll come around. I haven’t measured them yet but both Moe and Curly look to be minis (under 36 inches) … Larry is just a little taller.
