Headline: RAW VIDEO: A Second Chance For Charlie: Donkey Found Abandoned And Tied To A Lampost In Wales Finds Forever Home
Caption: A donkey who was found abandoned and tied to a lampost by a dog collar in Wales has found his forever home at a petting farm. 6-year-old Charlie now resides at Will’s Petting Farm, Swansea, and was adopted by Will Evans, 17, after being rescued. Charlie’s story shocked locals and immediately triggered a wave of sympathy and concern for the forsaken donkey. Swansea Council took charge of Charlie, ensuring he received the much-needed care and shelter at the pound in Singleton Park where he stayed for six weeks. During this time, Charlie had his feet trimmed and underwent a thorough vet check to address any potential health issues arising from his period of neglect. “He is looking better than when we first saw him,” Will remarks, reflecting on the positive transformation Charlie has undergone since being rescued. With his health steadying, the council reached out to Will Evans to inquire if he could offer Charlie a nurturing and permanent home at his petting farm. “We were privileged really to be able to take him on the farm, where he can live the rest of his life and spend time with animals that are cared for,” Will joyfully shares. Charlie quickly adapted to his new surroundings, showing an affinity for human interaction. Not only has he bonded well with people, but his introduction to other animals on the farm has also been a source of great joy and excitement for him. Having lived a solitary life, the sight of other animals filled him with enthusiasm and curiosity, paving the way for budding friendships in his new home. Will speaks of Charlie with evident affection, noting his incredible nature and a penchant for making friends, both human and animal alike. Each day is a discovery for Charlie as he learns to socialise and enjoy the companionship of other beings. Charlie’s tragic past of neglect and mistreatment has been replaced by loving care, safety, and the friendship of other animals at Will’s Petting Farm. In Will’s words, the farm offers Charlie a place where he can “live the rest of his life and spend time with animals that are cared for.”
