Adoption Egon by Mrs Anning Smith since March 2009

Ms. Anning H. Smith Sr. from New Jersey wished to adopt one of our Aruban donkeys and name him after her husband:  her eye was taken by Mikey, who will now be known as ‘Mikey Egon’.  Mikey hasn’t been with us for long but already knows how pleasant it is to hang around the porch – sociable and sometimes delicious! the adoption is to be continued. Thank you very much Ms Anning Smith!

The adoption is renewed with another year till  march 2009. Thank you!

Adoption Kodak by Jacqueline & Huib Doorenbos since July 2007

The Doorenbos', Jacqueline and Huib, are the neighbors to the donkey sanctuary.  They love animals and have two street dogs named after two  of the 101 Dalmatians, Patch and Pongo.  They love living next to the Sanctuary and wanted to know if we had a donkey named after a Disney character.  Of course, we have Bambi so they deiced to adopt him on an ongoing basis.

However Bambi had to be put to sleep.  Bambi came to us in September 2006.  He had a birth defect, scliosis (a curvature of the spine).  As he grew and got older his back became worse and he was having trouble walking.  It was not going to get better so the difficult decision was made to let him go to donkey heaven.  We will all miss him as will his devoted friend and protector, Lucky.Jacqueline and Huib continued to support us by adopting Kodak instead of Bambi.

Adoption Negrita by Jose Palomino since December 2005

Jose Palomino, who changed places with his wife as a volunteer,  has decided to adopt Negrita.  This was a very logical choice as he was on duty May 29th when Negrita into the world. It is very nice to have such enthousiastic volunteers!

Adoption Lucky & Watty since March 2004

Lucky & Watty are adopted since March 28, 2004. Lucky is brought back to Bringamosa, our second donkey sanctuary (she is reunited with her son Bastiaan). We do not trust her that much with visitors. She really likes food and fights for it. Like she has ever been hungry since she is with us.
