Jim & Jeannie adopted Esmeralda, our eldest donkeys. They wanted to adopt a sad donkey. Esmeralda isn't really sad, maybe she acts like that to get people to feed her????
Karen van Dyke adopted Crooked Ear a.k.a. Kromoor in memory of her husband David van Dyke. Karen and her husband visited the sanctuary many years ago and never forgot about us.
Kristi Sluiter decided to adopt Gypsy, our youngest donkey at the moment. Gypsy is with us for about 18 months now and finally a healthy and happy donkey. When she was brought in, she was very very sick. She survived a severe colic and constipation.
Lisa Rabinowitz, who adopted Cowboy, says: "Great Place!" We agree, the donkeys have a lot of space to roam around and have plenty of friends....
Jamie Day adopted Diva. Diva was found when she was 1 day old on October 5, 2014. She was all by herself, no momma around. We bottle fed her and now she is a mature donkey. In our eyes, she is still a baby though.
