Not long ago, Animal Rahat contacted supporters for help naming a rescued donkey foal, and out of more than 100 inspired suggestions, Amelia seems like a perfect fit for this strong little girl.

Much like her namesake, Amelia Earhart, she has an unwaveringly brave, adventurous spirit. Whether she’s chasing larger residents or cuddling with the staff, she’s fearless and friendly.

When Animal Rahat rescued Amelia from the streets, she was in agony, with painful untreated dog bites on her thigh and neck. Under the team’s care, she has not only healed but also grown into a healthy and happy young donkey. She’s come out the other side of the attack stronger than ever. Best of all, she’ll never know the pain of arduous labor in brick kilns, where thousands of donkeys in India are being worked to death.

One might expect that she’d be shy and wary after her experience, but she’s social and playful.

In case you missed it, why not take a moment to watch her transformation here?
