Kate Adriani felt very connected with 7-UP after reading her story on our website. 7-UP felt sick, so we picked her up and a few months later she had a miscarriage. The baby was maybe 4 or 5 months old so couldn't live. Maybe 7-UP was having morning sickness while we picked her up. Feeling connected with a donkey is a very good reason to adopt!
Emily Grabowski adopted Sasha, one of our first donkeys. We started the sanctuary almost 22 years ago and Sasha came in with her mom Sassy. Emily and her family took a bunch of pictures and this was the nicest one!
Derryl de Palm says that he loves donkeys. He was born and raised on Bonaire and every time he visits Bonaire he also visits the Donkey Sanctuary there. Derryl is in the picture with Merlin and his daughter Alejandra. They adopted Merlin with the whole family.
"Blackie is a beautiful donkey and I hope he lives a long healthy life of peace in his home land" says Alexander Watkens-Goodman. To help him do that Alexander adopted Blackie... That is a good start of the new year!
