Adoption Ban Ban by Jodie Boduch May 2022 - 2023

Adoption Evan by Brent Lamm May 2022 - 2023

Brent Lamm received the ultimate birthday gift from his wife Sarah. She adopted Evan for him. Evan is a very friendly donkey who came to live with us many years ago. Right after we moved to our new sanctuary back in 2016, one of the gates broke down and 50 donkeys were in the Streets. 49 came back except for Evan. He kept returning/going to the old sanctuary. Our neighbors at the old place called us every time they saw him. By the time we arrived to pick him up he was always gone. Finally, after a very long time, he showed up at Philips Animal garden. For both Philip and us an easy catch. #happybirthday #aruba #arubaonehappyisland #arubadonkeysanctuary #adopt #adoptadonkeyonaruba
