Adoption Kodak by Jacqueline & Huib Doorenbos since July 2007

The Doorenbos', Jacqueline and Huib, are the neighbors to the donkey sanctuary. They love animals and have two street dogs named after two of the 101 Dalmatians, Patch and Pongo. They love living next to the Sanctuary and wanted to know if we had a donkey named after a Disney character. Of course, we have Bambi so they deiced to adopt him on an ongoing basis.

However Bambi had to be put to sleep. Bambi came to us in September 2006. He had a birth defect, scliosis (a curvature of the spine). As he grew and got older his back became worse and he was having trouble walking. It was not going to get better so the difficult decision was made to let him go to donkey heaven. We will all miss him as will his devoted friend and protector, Lucky.Jacqueline and Huib continued to support us by adopting Kodak instead of Bambi.

Adoption Freezone by Freezone Aruba N.V. since June 2004

Baccha will undergo a name-change: his new name is Freezone. The donkey will be the mascot of the kids and will be dressed in green and grey from now on. A filly-sized halter will be custom- made anyway, so why not in the colors of the baseball team. Freezone’s new favorite sport is, of course, baseball.

Freezone is adopted by Free Zone Aruba since June 17, 2004

Thank you very much
