Adoptie Maartje by Ab & Thea Tuinman May 2020 -2021

Ab & Thea Tuinman adopted Maartje, not to be confused by Maartje their daughter who came to Aruba in March and is helping out at the sanctuary as a volunteer for a couple of days a week. How big is the chance that we have a donkey with a Dutch name? Maartje the donkey is BFF with Gerardo, both are the least dominant donkeys we have. They live in a separate area where they have a bigger chance to eat.

Adoption Tica by Jan-Marc Gozeling & Ria de Jonge May 2020 - 2021

Jan-Marc Gozeling & Ria de Jonge adopted our naughtiest donkey. Her name is Tica, as soon as she sees her chance she will try to go outside. Not that is better there, just because she can. This is a picture of her and Juanito many years ago. We were painting all the red doors and gates, guess who helped us out?

Adoption Kamino by Aislynn Rodeghiero May 2020 - 2021

Aislynn Rodeghiero adopted Kamino, who had his leg amputated last December. Aislynn also adopted (and brought home) 2 dogs from Aruba who have each 3 legs instead of 4. The choice was easy to make... Thank you Aislynn for your support!

Adoption Simba by Sanne Klein May 2020 - 2021

Sanne Klein was a trainee at one of the Aruban Hotels last year. In her free time she volunteered with us. During that time she cuddled a lot of donkeys and one of them was Simba, the donkey in the picture. Needles to say, she adopted him. Thank you Sanne.

Adoption Mocca by Tineke Klomp and Anja van Vliet May 2020 - 2021

The sisters Tineke Klomp and Anja van Vliet decided to help us out by adopting Mocca. Anja has a dog who's name is Mocca. That made the choice easier. Now they cannot forget who they adopted. Thank you ladies! We appreciate...

Thanks to our sponsors!
