Cobus, a miniature donkey, was originally imported from Holland and was relinquished to the Sanctuary from another animal charity in 2006.

To qualify as a miniature, a donkey must be under 91.44 centimetres (36 inches) in height!

He is a very shy donkey when you first meet him but loves cuddles and fuss once he gets to know you.
