James & Julia Duncan adopted Cowboy, who is with us for many many years. In 1999 we found him wandering around with an air filter around his hind leg. We could catch him, cut the filter and took him to the sanctuary. He was an adult donkey already, so is one of our elderly now.
Denise Arbesu and Peter Meyer adopted Keto. They love animals and want to give back to these beautiful animals. Keto used to live the Baby Beach area. One night he fell into a septic tank and was rescued with the help of the fire department. We had a sling and they had the truck to haul him out.
Maruska loves animals and wants to help keep the Aruban donkeys alive. Chocolat, who was featured in an article in the papers, is her adopted son.
Heleen Bongers and her husband have been fans of the sanctuary for a long time. Since October 2003 they have adopted Sonic. Before Sonic came to us he used to terrorize the horses at Desert Rose riding school. At the Sanctuary Sonic knows his place and does not fight anymore.
Rochaira de Cuba, one of our volunteers at Bringamosa, and her mother Francisca wanted to help us in more ways than just working at the sanctuary and picked two donkeys at Bringamosa to adopt. Rochaira chose Blanco and Francisca chose Tiny, a donkey who had a viral infection and possibly had an owner at one time. Our volunteers help us in so many more ways than just working and loving the donkeys.
