Inge & Anton Heiden wanted to support a good cause since they met a couple of years ago. They love animals and like our organisation because we run it with volunteers! They decided to adopt Cactus.
Desarie Brown and her husband just adopted a male donkey back at home. They love Governess' color and wanted to adopt her as well.
Anneloes & David Aaftink went looking for the wild donkeys on Aruba after they paid a visit to the sanctuary. They found little Gypsy dehydrated and constipated in the bushes. She was really very sick and it took about 3 weeks and a lot of medical care and TLC before she was out of the woods. Took her a long time to get used to our food as well. She loved the fresh grass we were cutting for her on a daily bases.
Nick Wimmers visited us and decided laqter to adopt Mocca through e-mail. Everything is possible, as long as we get help taking care of these wonderful creatures. Did I mention Nick had a wonderful time with us? In the picture Mocca playing with Kroket way back in 2010
In 2015 Flora had a still born baby. She was living in Seroe Colorado and was in labour when we received a phone call about the donkey in distress. We could save her, but her baby died already when we came to the rescue. Flora Market wanted to help us and gave her her name and adopted her!
