Adoption Pepsi

Hello, I am Pepsi

I would like to introduce myself. I am one of the donkeys at the Donkey Sanctuary since I had my accident. In February this year I was hit by a car on the Seroe Blanco road in San Nicolas. Fortunately there were people at Seroe Pretoe who helped me and who called the volunteers of the Donkey Sanctuary. They took me to Dr. Contreras’ hospital to be operated on, as my left hind leg was broken. The first recovery period lasted more than two months, and all that time I hung in a sling. Because I could not put any weight on my leg, the Donkey foundation had ordered a sling, or harness, in the United States. So there I hung. Recently I was operated on again, because during the first operation the doctor put pins in my bones and these had to be removed. Scary..

I still need a lot of extra care and attention, but I am doing very well. The only thing is that the people of the Donkey foundation got a scare when they saw the hospital bills.

That is why I am trying to find people who want to adopt me. I will still stay at the Donkey Sanctuary, but you just need to pay thirty florins per month for my upkeep. You help the shelter this way and me as well. You will receive a nice document and a fantastic tee-shirt. Can you call the Shelter please? The number is 593-2933. You can also become a sponsor via our website www.arubandonkey.org. Please help.

Adoption Truffles

Hi, I am Truffles!

I would like to introduce myself. I am one of the donkeys of the Aruban Donkey foundation and I have been living in the sanctuary since January of this year. My mother had left me behind in San Nicolas right after my birth. Fortunately there were people who took me to the volunteers of the shelter. These were also the people who have tried to catch my mother, but they have not succeeded. She was limping and could not take care of me.

The volunteers of the Donkey foundation could not leave me behind, because I would have become prey for roaming dogs. Really scary! According to the volunteers I am a naughty, but healthy baby donkey, who is shooting up nicely. I still need a lot of extra care, because I do not get mother’s milk. Therefore I need to be raised with a bottle. I drink special foal’s milk powder, which is flown in from the USA. This is very expensive milk and I drink a lot of it.

That is why I am trying to find people who want to adopt me. I will still stay at the Donkey Sanctuary, but you just need to pay thirty florins per month for my upkeep. You help the shelter this way and me as well. You will receive a nice document and a fantastic tee-shirt. Can you call the Shelter please? The number is 593-2933.

Adoption Diassa

Hi, I am Diassa!

I would like to introduce myself. I am one of the donkeys who has found shelter with the Aruban Donkey foundation. My mother left me right after my birth in Savaneta. Fortunately there were people who took care of me and they called the volunteers of the Donkey foundation. They took me to doctor Contreras right away, as I was seriously ill with an infected umbilical cord and heart problems. For these I shall need to take pills my entire life. Scary!

I still need a lot of extra care, for I do not get any mother’s milk and need to be fed with a bottle. Special milk powder is flown in for me from the US; foal milk. The milk is very expensive, but nothing compared to the veterinarian’s bills: the volunteers are still reeling from them.

That is why I am trying to find people who want to adopt me. I will still stay at the Donkey Sanctuary, but you just need to pay thirty florins per month for my upkeep. You help the shelter this way and me as well. You will receive a nice document and a fantastic tee-shirt. Can you call the Shelter please? The number is 593-2933.
