Sweet Soul was destined for slaughter. I rescued this wonderful "Old Soul". He has worked for 20 years, plowing and pulling for his farmers only to be taken on the next journey...the Kill Pen. He has worked hard though out his life, never complaining and always obeying and doing what he was ask of him. Did he ever receive a thank you? A kind word? A scratch or and apple?
There was something in those soulful eyes that touched mt heart, Something said you MUST save this gentle soul. His eyes tell the story...and that is why I wanted to give him the life he deserves...I wanted to heal his broken spirit. He is safe now and most important he is FREE from the horrible threat of slaughter. After traveling 5,338 miles to his forever home he is finally FREE.
"The spirit of those we leave behind live on in those we save."

    He looks like he can’t believe he was saved, a little in shock, he is a gentle giant! Intelligent animals! 💕

    That is a beautiful mule so big and graceful just what I've been looking for
  • @savvymule
    Yes, this was taken when I got him. He has clubbed feet. His feet are much better now.
  • @yknowgirl
    He looks so comfortable with that man

    he's a cobby fellow - a real beefcake bless him. He's most soulful eyes

    Gorgeous boy! Heart breaking to know he wound up in a kill pen, but God love you for rescuing him. I adopted my mule from a local animal shelter after she was confiscated from her previous owner for abuse. 4 years later, we're still together. Hard to say who rescued who. :)

    He was only 20 years old. Seriously he had plenty years still left. Thank you for saving him.

    I fricking love animals in general (it's the reason I'm vegetarian) but have special love for Mules, Donkeys and Horses. They're so beautiful and have done so much for humanity throughout the centuries.

    It will take awhile. It's a mule and you have to earn their trust. I've had him 3.5 yrs and just now able to halter him. It will be 4yrs in April.

    Sweet Soul was a Amish Draft Mule, Mammoth Mule. Scars on gaskins are always found on Amish horses, sadly. They are work animals to them.

    I don't know how I got here, but I'm glad I did. What a gorgeous mule! Love those soulful eyes. It's too late now, but I would not leave his halter and lead rope on. If there's any potential for a problem, horses and mules will find it.
