Diana Foflygen came with her daughter Angela Reyes to the sanctuary and like her daughter she adopted a donkey. The choice was easily made: Thistle a very friendly donkey who sucks his tongue after eating some pellets or carrots.
Of course when it was time to make a picture, Thistle was no where to be found....
Paula Grubenskas loves our donkeys especially Brad Pitt. So she adopted him and also became a Friend of the Donkeys. That means Paula left the sanctuary with 2 T-shirts. One for the adoption of a donkey and one for becoming a Friend of the Donkeys.
Patricia Smith adopted Tiger because she is so cute. You are right Patricia, she is and so friendly and curious..
Kaitlin Colella loves Ban Ban and that is why she adopted him. We love Ban Ban too. He is our very first donkey. Children poored boiling water over him when he was just a little baby. He is with us ever since (1994). He is the reason why we started the sanctuary at all.
Jodi and Nina Bartolotta adopted Tiger because she is the baby. Tiger is the cutest thing ever. She was born beginning of September close to the golf course in San Nicolaas. She had a big wound on her chest, which is now nicely healed! Her mom's name is Woods.
