Meet Gavin

Gavin is a truly extraordinary donkey who insists that age is nothing more than a number. Instantly recognizable by the wide, beautiful brown dorsal cross stretching across his shoulders and back, he refuses to accept any limitations. He famously downplays the staff's gentle concerns regarding his declining health, preferring to take life one joyful day at a time.

Gavin is squeezing every single ounce of joy out of his time at Longhopes, living each moment completely to the fullest. He delights in his daily routine, taking leisurely strolls through the pasture and soaking up the warm Colorado sunshine. His fierce independence and unique charm make him a sanctuary favorite, inspiring everyone around him with his zest for life.
