Adoption Blanca by Martha & Maryanne Byington since December 2006

The Byington sisters paid a visit to the Sanctuary to meet our four legged family. Maryanne decided to adopt a donkey for her sister Martha. Blanca was the lucky donkey who was picked. Blanca has a very slim face and she is a real lady. She does not push her way to the front of the line when food is being given. She waits her turn.

The adoption is ongoing. The sisters come every Christmas to see their beloved Blanca.
