Presley Paris, the son of Eddy and Lisette Paris, is enjoying a ride on Ban Ban. The Paris family allow us to use their property for the Sanctuary and they have also adopted a donkey from the beginning of the sanctuary. The Vice President of the Foundation has written a book called "Kosh Kosh, the Green Donkey From Aruba". To show the Foundation's gratitude for all the Paris family has done for us, the first copy of the book was presented to Presley Paris on Animal Day 2006. Again Thank You Paris Family.
Sheri & Gary Thurlow from Florida have been supporters of the Sanctuary. In the past they had adopted Bambi. Since Bambi passed away they decided to adopt two donkeys to celebrate their 18th anniversary. They chose Sunday and Miranda. Sunday was born March 30, 2008. He is a very good looking young donkey. Miranda was born February 27th this year. She is getting friendly and loves to run around her corral.
Diana Erasmus from Aruba was so happy that the Sanctuary is taking care of the Aruban donkeys. To show her support she decided to adopt one. Little Sparkle caught her eye and that is the one she picked
Sparkle born July 12, 2008. The adoption runs for a year
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.
Cowboy is Linda Shapiro’s donkey-love. She adopted him for a period of two years, starting on March 17, 2004. Cowboy was so unfortunate to have stepped into an air filter with his hind leg. It took three weeks before we were able to cut the burden off of him, which took several hours. With assistance of people from Texas (hence the name Cowboy), this wild donkey is now running around the sanctuary free and very happy. Mrs Shapiro renewed the adoption till march 2010. Thank you very much!
