Jolly

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Jolly was only three months old when she was rescued from a overcrowded transporter in early spring 2000, along with her mother and two other donkeys in Italy. The truck was en route from Romania to Sicily, where the donkeys were to be slaughtered and processed into salami. Today, Jolly lives with the matriarch donkey, Rosamunde, from the Federation Against Cruelty to Animals in Geldern, on the Lower Rhine. She has become an exceptionally confident donkey who knows exactly what she wants (and what she doesn't want).

Jolly war erst drei Monate alt, als sie im Frühjahr 2000 zusammen mit ihrer Mutter und zwei anderen Eseln in Italien aus einem überladenen Transporter befreit wurde. Der LKW war auf dem Weg von Rumänien nach Sizilien, wo die Esel geschlachtet und zu Salami verarbeitet werden sollten. Jolly lebt heute zusammen mit der Eseldame Rosamunde vom Bund gegen den Mißbrauch der Tiere in Geldern am Niederrhein. Sie ist eine ausgesprochen selbstbewusste Eseldame geworden, die genau weiß, was sie will (vor allem aber, was sie nicht will).

About Jolly

What life with Jolly looks like

Jolly is a medium-sized adult mixed breed horse waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

Adopting a horse is a long-term commitment that almost always requires either land or a boarding stable. The shelter will discuss the horse's training level, vet history, and what kind of work or companionship they're suited for. Expect ongoing costs: feed, farrier, vet, and stabling.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jolly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jolly?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jolly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jolly if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a horse can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Jolly already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a horse comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. directly what is included and what Jolly still needs.
What happens if Jolly isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jolly and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
