Solomon

Solomon and Bartholomew are known as “Jerusalem Donkeys” because they have a dark cross on their back. Solomon came from an abusive situation and had been beaten and whipped, and when rescued was placed with Bartholomew. However their new owner neglected them, and they needed a safe haven to live the rest of their lives.

Now Solomon, Bartholomew and Romeo are a herd, and Solomon is the leader of the pack. He is always the first one at the gate, and where he goes the other follow. He loves taking dust baths, getting scratches behind his ears and adores red apples.

The Sanctuary is an animal refuge run by Shawn Bishop and Michael Dixon in Matakana, New Zealand. We provide a safe haven for abused and neglected animals, and care for injured or orphaned native birds. A charitable trust has been established for this purpose.
