Phil & Nancy Sonner choose Coco as their adopted donkey. Coco came in with a dislocated wrist and after a year she gave birth to a lovely girl, her name is Chula. They renewed the adoption. Thank you very much!
Wim Freriks adopted Thistle early 2012. The adoption is ongoing upon till today... thank you Wim for your continuous support!
Every year Rod and Arlene Lema from Michigan come an visit the donkeys. Each year they adopt a different donkey. In the past they have adopted Bono, Mikey and Snoopy. Their last donkey, Tio Mexico, died in November 2017. So they wanted to adopt another "old" donkey and decided to go for Blanca.
This year the Lema couple was wondering if Tio was still alive. YES he is, in his late forties, he is still enjoying life. So instead of choosing a new donkey, they decided to go for another year for this sweet face... Thank you Arlene and Rodney!

Sassy is a lucky donkey. Louis & Patti Visconti from Connecticut love donkeys and picked her for adoption.
Heather Schlader has been coming to the Sanctuary on her visits to Aruba. She is renewing her adoption of Bono every year. With a new picture of the both of them.... Every year Bono is a little bit more white than before....
