Our volunteers jumped into action. They found him starving, confused and ready to get out of the desert \u2014 and brought him to the SRWHMG Headquarters and safety.<\/p>\n<p>Once at SRWHMG, he began the long journey of recovery: gaining weight, medical treatment, learning to trust again, and showing us the gentle, intelligent soul beneath the hardship. We asked for your help in naming him, and you chose the perfect one: DaVinci, for his painterly coat and beautiful spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we are overjoyed to share that DaVinci has found his forever home at The Hangry Donkey Sanctuary (www.thehangrydonkey.com )\u2014 a small, loving haven where every animal is truly cherished. When Simone spoke with Rose from the sanctuary, she instantly saw in DaVinci what we all did \u2014 a survivor with a kind heart.<\/p>\n<p>After visits and heartfelt discussions, The Hangry Donkey offered DaVinci a permanent home. When he arrived, he was warmly greeted by curious new friends (including a little \u201cmini-me\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>We want to take a moment to thank our amazing SRWHMG Care Team for their giving hearts and daily dedication. Their compassion and hard work make it possible for horses like DaVinci to heal, trust, and thrive.<\/p>\n<p>We are deeply grateful to The Hangry Donkey Sanctuary for opening their hearts, and to every one of you who supported DaVinci\u2019s rescue, care, and recovery.<\/p>\n<p>YOU gave DaVinci the second chance he deserved \u2014 and now, a safe, happy forever home. Thank you. &#x1f496;<\/p>\n<p>Welcome home, DaVinci. You\u2019ll always be part of the SRWHMG family. #SRWHMG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They found him starving, confused and ready to get out of the desert \u2014 and brought him to the SRWHMG Headquarters and safety.","protected":false},"author":675,"featured_media":80571,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-updates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>From Starving to Safe \u2014 DaVinci Has Found His Forever Home!
