Adoption Kroket by Ellen Shelton January 2019 - 2020

Ellen Shelton adopted Kroket by sending us the money using PayPal. She didn't know about this option. She was happily surprised and found information about Kroket on our website. Kroket was attacked by dogs and had a severe wound on his shoulder. The vet did a perfect job, one cannot see the scar anymore. This is already some years ago. Kroket is friends with Roulette and Thunder.

Adoption 7-UP by Kate Adriani January 2019 - 2020

Kate Adriani felt very connected with 7-UP after reading her story on our website. 7-UP felt sick, so we picked her up and a few months later she had a miscarriage. The baby was maybe 4 or 5 months old so couldn't live. Maybe 7-UP was having morning sickness while we picked her up. Feeling connected with a donkey is a very good reason to adopt!
