Karrie Liporto loves seeing the donkeys in the wild but is happy there is a Sanctuary to take care of the ones who cannot be in the wild anymore. She is continuing her adoptions by taking care of Ramon. 
Ann Sterling from Maine was waiting for a new donkey to arrive at the Sanctuary so she could name it Annie. We picked Annie up when we got a call that there was a donkey in distress. Annie had trouble giving birth to a very large baby. Thank you very much Ann!
Estena loves the donkeys, she decided to adopt one of our youngest donkeys Thunder.
