These wonderful animals are looking for their forever homes. Each one has a unique story and is ready to bring love and joy to the right family.
At Double D, we have horses and donkeys available for adoption immediately. Many of our horses come from nearby kill pens, auctions and owner release program and are looking for some love and attention from someone just like you. All of our horses have been through quarantine, have been seen by a veterinarian, and received all of their vaccinations. All ages are approximate.
We've started the healing process by providing proper nutrition, and love to these gentle giants. Now it's up to you to continue that healing.
Horses and Donkeys are located in Rhome, Texas, NW of Fort Worth. Adopter is responsible for arranging transport for their new family member. We work with several transporters who may be able to provide you with special transport pricing.
To adopt a horse or Donkey from Double D, please fill out the Adoption Application and Contract.
Breed: Standard Donkey
Age: Approximately 4-6 years old
Gender: Male (gelding)
Alvin and his buddy Simon were owner relinquished and came to the rescue on 2/18/26. Both boys arrived as jacks that had been left to graze in a pasture, and Alvin in particular developed fat pads and a broken crest. They were both gelded and put on a very nutritious diet that allowed for weight loss while providing the essential nutrients they were lacking. Simon was adopted to a wonderful family, leaving Alvin behind. He's a very sweet boy, but hasn't really bonded with anyone. He is well-mannered and gets along with the rescue herd. He's a bit shy, but once others aren't crowding, he loves attention and hugs. He leads, trailers, and does well for the farrier. We would love for Alvin to find a loving home with a mellow friend, and a family that has the time and patience to help him come out of his shell.

Gender: Unknown
Charlotte is a young filly (long yearling). Her mother was a Hackney pony. She came to us with Candy, and Clara when they were returned from their adopters due to family hardship. She wasn't handled much as a baby, and basically was turned out with the donkey girls, so she is learning to be a horse with the boys! She is a very smart girl, and she learns very quickly, but she can be a pill, reactive, and very stubborn. She is very sweet with her new friend River, but needs work with humans. She's going to need a very experienced equine family that will give her consistency, lots of love, and training to finish her for her life journey.

She's now part of the rescue herd, and gets along with everyone, although she does prefer hanging out with Maylama who is in sanctuary at the rescue. She's starting to like attention, will come up for scratches now! She enjoys grooming, and cookies too! She is all around just a sweet, and beautiful girl. We want her to find a family that has the time to spend giving her the attention and love that she deserves. One that will understand she still needs some help with learning all the things she's expected to know.

Kenko came to the rescue as an owner relinquishment. He's a very in your pocket donkey. He's very sweet, and has a HUGE personality. He's a pro at leading, trailering, and is well-behaved for the farrier. He got along with all the donkeys in the rescue herd, and his favorite friends were all adopted. Kenko was adopted, and returned because he doesn't do well with horses. He can be a kicker. Since being back, he's become best friends with Poncho. They both needed someone that was equally dominant. We were really hoping they could be adopted together, rather than trying to make either one adjust to someone new. We do think Kenko would get along with jennys, because he has in the

Gender: Male (gelding)
Ralph is a micro-mini gelding. He's approximately 28-30" tall. He came to the rescue 6/6/24 in a U-haul of all things! His owner wanted to board him here until he could find a place for this sweet boy to live. His owner loved little Ralph very much, and you could tell, because he was a sweetheart from the start. The rescue got him gelded and started him on a more nutritious diet. He was able to make friends with the sanctuary herd, and socialize with his own kind. He is a champ at haltering, leading, and is well-behaved for the farrier. He absolutely loves people, and especially children. He has the best personality, and is a very calm donkey. He's never in too much of a hurry, but he'll kick it up with the others on occasion. Little Ralph's previous owner never found a place for him to live, and decided to permanently board him. We felt that Little Ralph deserved so much more, since he is such a special boy. So, we finally convinced his owner to sign him over to the rescue, so we could find the best home ever, where he could share his love and patience with others. Little Ralph has a heart of gold, is so filled with love, and has a wonderful personality! We feel that his talent would be well served as a therapy horse where people could visit with him, and maybe even go to nursing homes. So, we are only looking for a home that would honor that for him, that also has the time to give him all the attention and love he deserves. We would also love for him to have a sweet friend for him to live out his days with. No hard work, no riding, no petting zoos etc.

River is a sweet and precious gelding. He's a yearling that was born with a congenital abnormality that caused juvenile cataracts. We think he has some limited vision, as he always checks his perimeters. He's a good minded horse, and is very gentle. He loves people, lots of attention, and enjoys companionship with other horses. He leads well, and is well-behaved for the farrier. We turn him out in the paddock with his other horse friends, but he stays in a turnout for safety. He loves going for walks too. We would love for him to find a experienced horse family that would devote their time to him, provide him training as he has the temperament and bravery to possibly ride or be a therapy horse. He would make a great companion, and would more than likely love having children loving on him.
