Sandra Medeiros is totally into donkeys. She adopted Chocolat while there was a rainstorm. Chocolat was taking shelter under one of the roofs, so Sandra had to come back for a picture. Which was no problem, she will probably come back before she leaves to go back home.
Jan & Miranda van der Westen adopted Chula back in 2018, today they adopt Esmeralda, our oldest donkey. Esmeralda is about 35 years old. She lives in the stables on soaked food. Her teeth are not so very good anymore. She is very healthy otherwise.
Annie Maessen is like the Riddderbeekx family a horse person. She was charmed by our donkeys though. Especially little Lugo who is with us for a couple of months now. It was hard to get Lugo in the adoption picture though.
Shirley & Nina van der Westen adopted Woods because of her beautiful fluffy ears and because of her loss of her baby Tiger that day. Thank you for adopting her.
Kevin, John, Judith & Ryan Ridderbeekx are horse people. They were very impressed how the sanctuary is set up and is running. They adopted 3 donkeys to support us. Zoja, Sinbad and Jagger. Sinbad and Jagger look like they are brothers, it is hard to keep them apart. They live with us for a long time except for Zoja who came to live with us a couple of months ago.
