Adoption Picasso and Sonic by Kathleen Broderick and Marta Russel sinces April 2004

Marta Russel and Richard Balzarini from Stone Ridge, New York paid several visits to the sanctuary. They have a flock of sheep and they are trying to decide whether to get lamas or donkeys to protect their flock. Donkeys are known to be good shepherds.

They chose to adopt Sonic. They also decided to get a present for Marta's sister, Kathleen Broderick who lives in Ohio and chose Picasso. Martha and Richard have been loyal adoptors for seven years. They are from the US and have renewed their adoption of Sonic. This is their way of thanking us for the good work we do for the donkeys.

Thanks to our sponsors!
