Adoption Thunder by Sharon Grossi May 2018 - 2019

Sharon Grossi celebrated her birthday on Aruba. As a surprise her husband adopted Thunder for her. Look how happy she looks! Thunder is somewhere in between all these donkeys also feeling happy!

Adoption Kroket by Janet Mulder May 2018 - 2019

Janet Mulder asked her friends and family from the Netherlands to donate to be able to adopt a donkey on Aruba with all of them. Janet loves animals and tries to help world wide. They adopted Kroket one of our very friendly donkeys who always sucks his tongue after eating something sweet or delicious! Kroket was attacked by dogs when he was still a baby! Andreina, the vet, did a beautiful job with stitches that don't even show....

Adoption Kodak by Karen and John Halverson May 2018 - 2019

Karen & John Halverson visited the Sanctuary last March and fell in love with our donkeys. Isn't it nice that they send us an email willing to adopt Kodak. Kodak's story was appealing to them. He came in, many years ago, with srew worm. This worm eats the flesh, so half of his hind leg was gone and infected with thousands of little worms. Long story short: he was on 3 legs (like a tripod) for a month and totally recovered. Only one little spot on his leg reminds us of his injury.

Adoption Waiter by Theresa Zook May 2018 - 2019

Theresa Zook choose to adopt Waiter because she loves animals and wants to help out! Waiter came in with a broken hip in January 2013 together with his friend Santa. You can see it is broken when he stands still, but when he walks he doesn't even have a limp.

Adoption Thunder by Joe and Pam Ziskend May 2018 - 2019

Joe and Pam Ziskend really appreciate what we are doing here at the Donkey Sanctuary and they want to help us with that. They not only adopted Thunder but also bought a Delft Blue tile to help us finish the vistors center.

Thanks to our sponsors!
