Three Donkeys Roam Alabama Town as Deputies Search for Their Owner
STEWARTVILLE, ALABAMA — Residents of Coosa County have been doing double-takes this week after spotting three donkeys wandering freely along roads and fields — and now, local deputies are asking for help to find where they came from.
Donkeys on the Loose for Two Weeks
The Coosa County Sheriff’s Office shared a photo taken by a nearby resident showing the trio of donkeys strolling through the Stewartville area, where they’ve reportedly been seen roaming for about two weeks.
Officials said the animals appear to be in good health but have not yet been claimed by any nearby farms or livestock owners.
“We’re asking anyone who may know where these donkeys belong to please reach out,” the sheriff’s office said in a public notice.
Community Effort to Locate the Owner
Residents have shared sightings on social media, hoping to help identify the animals’ owner. Deputies say that while the donkeys haven’t caused any damage or major disturbances, they are concerned about traffic safety if the animals wander near roadways.
Anyone with information about the donkeys’ origins is urged to contact the Coosa County Sheriff’s Office.
