Brandy and Nicholas Lokshin visited the sanctuary back in October when Nicholas fell in love with all of our donkeys but one in particular. He is in the picture with Thistle, the donkey that always sucks his tongue after eating sweets or pellets. The adoption is a birthday gift from Brandy to Nicholas! Happy Birthday Nicholas! Did Brandy surprise you?
