Adoption Picasso and Sonic by Kathleen Broderick and Marta Russel sinces April 2004

Marta Russel and Richard Balzarini from Stone Ridge, New York paid several visits to the sanctuary. They have a flock of sheep and they are trying to decide whether to get lamas or donkeys to protect their flock. Donkeys are known to be good shepherds.

They chose to adopt Sonic. They also decided to get a present for Marta's sister, Kathleen Broderick who lives in Ohio and chose Picasso. Martha and Richard have been loyal adoptors for seven years. They are from the US and have renewed their adoption of Sonic. This is their way of thanking us for the good work we do for the donkeys.

Adoption Bono by Marcel and Danielle Bude-Put since May 2008

Bono, one of very young donkeys, has been adopted by the Bude-Put family. Marcel and Danielle come from Belgium and have a great love of animals. They mentioned they really respect all the work our volunteers do and as a tribute adopted Bono. The adoption is renewed for another year.

Thank you!

Adoption Ban Ban by Presley Paris

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.

Thanks to our sponsors!
