Kathryn Wilkin did a lot when she was on Aruba, however the highlight of her visit was the Donkey Sanctuary. That is so sweet! She decided to adopt Annie, the mare that lost her baby while in labor many years ago. Annie is doing great and is best friends with Woody and Truffles.
Leigh Riley visited the sanctuary a couple of weeks ago and decided to adopt Santa for the Paws Across Oswego County rescue group. Santa has been with us for many years. He was hit by a car and broke his leg. Since the injury was old we couldn't do surgery anymore. Instead Ricardo injected him every 2 weeks with antibiotics in the fracture and made a sort of internal splint. He is doing fine. Except just before Christmas when he was having an infection in his "good" hoof. After intense treatment the infection is under control. He is okay again.
Hans Kroes & Mirabell Awater adopted Aramis because he has this silly nervous tic. They always wanted to have a donkey. At this moment in time they prefer to take care of one of our donkeys above having the real responsibility of a actual donkey. For their donkey-fix they can go and pet the neighbors donkey in the Netherlands.
January 2014 Kathy and Chris came to the sanctuary, they wanted to adopt the new to come in donkey and name him/her after the city they live in. On July 21, we had our first new addition to the sanctuary for this year. A yearling, abandoned by his mom probably because she gave birth to a brother or sister for Woody. His official name is Sir Wildwood, we will call him Woody.... Thank you for your patience Kathy and Chris! Now they finally could make a picture with Woody.
Greg and Cass Nall from Texas adopted Prince and Princessa for their grandson Toby. They visited us last year and fell in love with our donkeys. Princessa was walking in front of Desiree’s house with her mom Queeny since they were walking in the middle of the road, Desiree just lured them in. Good thing, because Queeny was pregnant from Prince. We call them the Royal family…..
Take Route 4a from the hotels and follow this road for 14 km, pass all the circles/roundabouts until you see a sign for the French Men’s Pass. Make a left turn onto the French Men’s Pass, then 1st left, 2nd right. On that dirt road you will find the Donkey Sanctuary after about 200 meters.
If you have a GPS device, navigate to these coordinates: N 12°48.974’ W 069°96.642’ This will bring you to the entrance of the Donkey Sanctuary.
