Meet Our Adoptables

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.

Alvin
Donkey
Alvin

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.

Cooper
Donkey
Cooper

Breed: Mini John

Age: Approximately in his 20s

Gender: Male

Cooper is a castrated mini John that is about 34-36” in height. He was an owner surrender from a neighbor that reached out to the rescue for help. We were told that he was only 10 years old, but our vet estimated he was older.  He came to the rescue very depressed and skinny with some fat pads. His fat pads indicate that he’d been left to graze and most likely used as a herd guard. He really didn’t like hay and didn’t know grain, so he got pretty sick. He was taken to Weatherford hospital and had to have intensive treatment for a couple of weeks. When he got home, he still didn’t want to eat, so we decided to give him a girlfriend. Sonia needed to gain weight and was a picky eater too. They had a buffet to choose from, until they settled on their favorite food and hay. She taught him how to eat out of a bucket and what love was. That was the trick and sweet Cooper snapped out of his depression. He is in really good health and his weight is where it should be. He does need regular dental care as his teeth weren’t taken care of during his life. He does have a cloudy left, but he can see and isn’t in pain with it. He is so sweet and loves people! He gets along with everyone at the rescue, big and small, male or female. He loves to bray every chance he gets and is an overall good boy.  We really want him to have a wonderful family that will give him all the love and attention he needs. He would be in heaven with a girlfriend bestie and a comfy stall with a fan and lots of Alfalfa. He deserves to have a wonderful forever family that will allow him to enjoy his golden years without any expectations! One last home for the rest of his life 🥰.

She's been on medications for her conditions, and they've gotten her hormone, and sugar levels under control, and she's lost all the weight and bloating it was causing. She's on a soaked Teff Hay diet, and she is doing so well. She's looking BEAUTIFUL! She is the sweetest girl! She absolutely loves everyone, human and equine alike. She especially loves getting groomed, and getting one on one attention. She is excellent for the farrier, halters, leads, and trailers like a champ!

Age: Approximately 6–7 years old

Gender: Male (Gelding

Fuzzy is an owner-release donkey we simply couldn't ignore. He was a neglected Jack living with another that was attacking him. He was pretty unhandled, distrusting, and had horrible hooves. He was born on the property where he came from, and we decided he deserved another chance at a great life. We picked him up on June 13, 2026. He was terrified when he arrived we had to cold hose him, because he was sweating so much. It was awful. We are so glad we got him!  He has had lots of love and attention from all our volunteers and has made a complete turnaround. He is now in great health and his hooves have been sorted out. He loves people and attention now. He gives the best hugs! He is well behaved with his herd mates, leads, and does well for the farrier. We would love for Fuzzy to find a forever home with a sweet minded companion and a family who will continue to give him all the love and attention he deserves.

Poncho
Donkey
Poncho

Breed: John

Age: 24 years old

Gender: Male

Poncho was an owner surrender. He wasn’t castrated and we believe he was used as a herd guard. He came with two goats and a mare he loved and watched over. The rescue had him castrated as he wasn’t used to being with other males and loved the ladies a bit too much. He was also not given an adequate diet, which caused him to develop fat pockets and a broken crest. He’s a very sweet boy and loves people. He loves being groomed and does all the things like a champ! He’s come a long way from when he first arrived for sure! The problem is he doesn’t get along well with other male donkeys. We tried him with everybody and while he wasn’t mean, he was too dominant.

Horse
River

Breed: Palomino

Age: 1 year

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.

Skye & Skylar
Horses
Skye & Skylar

Breed: Sky(left) is a SB and Skylar(right) appears to be a TB cross.

Age: Approximately 6 months old

Gender: Male (stud colts)

On August 2, 2026 the rescue was contacted about an orphan foal at the Bowie Livestock Sale Barn. He had been separated from his mother and desperately needed the specialized care that orphan babies require. We went to the Bowie Livestock Sale Barn to pick him up. We brought him home, bathed him, and treated all of the bite wounds covering his little body.  Orphan foals should never end up at a sale barn. They definitely should not be made orphans AT the sale barn for greed!! They are vulnerable. The larger horses can bite, kick and chase them. These babies can become frightened, depressed and completely overwhelmed. Sometimes they simply give up hope. When we arrived at Bowie, Skye was in the same pen as another orphan baby. After speaking with Thalia from All Seated At The Barm Rescue, I learned that the other baby was rescued by them. They had named him Eddie. After we got Skye home, I couldn’t stop thinking about that other little baby. These two had already found each other. They found safety and love in each other, since they had been taken away from their mamas. They needed to stay together. On August 4, I reached out to Thalia and asked if we could take Eddie into our care so the two could be together. She told me that they had taken him to the hospital for treatment. She agreed that once he was released we could pick him up. On August 10, we brought Eddie home. When he arrived at Double D we changed his name to Skylar, because I thought Skye and Skylar sounded perfect together. When these two babies were reunited p, they were sSO happy ❤️. No longer alone. Now longer without a friend. They spent their days snuggling and cuddling together in their stall. Then on August 19, we noticed something very wrong. Baby Skylar was having labored breathing and we knew he needed immediate medical attention. We rushed him to the hospital. He spent 14 days receiving intensive veterinary care. During that time these precious babies were also dealing with strangles, with abscesses that filled with pus and needed time to drain and heal. Skylar’s hospitalization resulted in a veterinary bill of more than 10,000. Today we are continuing our efforts to get that bill paid in full. Because this little guy deserved a chance. He deserved the medical care he needed. He deserved to live. And our wonderful rescue team helped give him that chance ❤️. On September 2, Skylar was finally released from the hospital. And once again, he and Skye were reunited. These two innocent orphan babies have formed the most amazing bond. On September 4, we had both babies retested for strangles to make sure they were cleared before allowing them access to the larger turnout areas.  on September 18, 2026, something incredibly special happened. Skylar and Skye got to run. They got to romp, play, and be foals 🥹❤️. After everything these two babies have been through, watching them run and play together was one of those moments that reminds us why we do what we do. They have completed their journey of healing from their illness. Now their job is simply to be babies. To eat, grow, gain weight and muscle, play, and enjoy their lives! They will be at the rescue until they’ve reached some more milestones, and then will be gelded when it’s completely safe to do so.  We will be looking for a VERY experienced and loving horse family to adopt these boys together and continue with the proper training to teach them all the things they will need to learn to become the most awesome horses we know they will be!

Age: 7 years old

Gender: Male

Snowman is an owner relinquish and came to the rescue with Brownie on 6-13-26. He is about 34 1/2” tall and is castrated. He is a little unsure, but will accept scratches. We are not sure why they are like this since their previous family were very good to them and loved them very much. We’ve been working with him as much as we can, but feel he may require a family with an equine background which will have the tools to help get him to their endgame. He will need to learn its safe to be loved, handled, and be trained todo the things that are required.

The friends she came with were all adopted. She gets along with everyone here, big and small.  She was over fed at her previous home, so she came with fat pads on her butt, sides, and a broken crest. We put her on a diet that supports her weight, age, and overall health. She’s much more healthy and has lost most of her fat pads, but she does need her teeth monitored every 6 months or so. She is fairly good with haltering, leading, and trailering. She absolutely loves to be groomed! She is getting better with the farrier.  She needs a consistent person in her life, that will have the time to earn her trust and show her all the love she deserves.
