Inge Splinter saw Billy Pumpkin, short Pumpkin, and decided right away that she wanted to support the next year for her. Pumpkin came as the +1 of her momma Cranberry who had a sore leg. She is about 7 months old, maybe 8 and very sweet and cuddly. Luckily after a few days Cranberry had no pain anymore.
Natasha Petrackis adopted Kroket. She said: "playing Kroket in Aruba" Kroket is known for sticking out his tongue after eating some snacks!
Gene & Mia Skowronski adopted Ramon, they say:"The Sanctuary is part of our vacation for the last 20-ish years.
We LOVE it!".
Ramon is living in the sanctuary since 1999. He is named after one of the founders of the sanctuary.
Valorie Berta also adopted Kroket & Baccha, because they are in Donkey Heaven. In the pictures Valorie with Kroket and her daughter Mandy with Baccha. Baccha was born at the sanctuary after her mom Maud was roaming the streets. Maud and Tico were fostered, however they jumped the fence and walked on the streets for 8 months before they showed up in front of Desiree's house. a few months later Maud gave birth and little Baccha was born. This was in 2005. Kroket is with us since long, came in as a baby with a nasty shoulder injury. Lucky the stitches held! We cannot find a scar anymore!
Lourdes Tromp adopted Tutu back in 2004 (yes 20 years already) for her brother Eddy. Eddy passed away some years ago, however Lourdes continued to support us. Tutu is doing fine, she is best friends with George and one of our smallest donkeys. Thank you Lourdes for being such a loyal supporter.
