Meet Donkey, a Big-Hearted Companion Ready for His Forever Home

May 7, 2026

CAMERON, TX — If you are looking for a loyal companion with a personality as big as his heart, look no further than our featured Pet of the Week: Donkey.

Donkey is a handsome "Texas blend"—a unique mixture of breeds that has resulted in a sturdy, athletic, and incredibly affectionate dog. At approximately 3 to 4 years old, he is in the prime of his life and ready to bring a lot of joy to a new household.

A True People Person

Donkey’s most defining trait is his love for humans. Whether it’s a game of fetch in the backyard or a quiet evening relaxing on the porch, Donkey just wants to be where the people are. He is a high-energy "big boy" who would thrive with an active family that enjoys outdoor play or even a bit of hunting.

Health and Wellness

Donkey’s future family can rest easy knowing he is fully prepared for his new life:

• Fully Vetted: He is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations.
• Heartworm Recovery: While he previously tested positive for heartworms, he is currently in the recovery phase and doing great. He is staying on top of his health with a simple daily pill regimen.

The Ideal Home

To ensure Donkey has the best possible transition, there are a few things to keep in mind for his "forever" environment:

• No Cats, Please: Donkey prefers to be the only non-human hunter in the house. He does not get along with feline friends.
• Space to Play: Because of his size and zest for life, a yard where he can run and play is a must.
