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.
April and Steve Cusick are staying Costa Esmeralda on Aruba for their holiday. They love to help an elderly donkey and our Esmeralda is our oldest. She is approximately 35 years old. What's in the name?
Emily Grabowski adopted Sasha, one of our first donkeys. We started the sanctuary almost 22 years ago and Sasha came in with her mom Sassy. Emily and her family took a bunch of pictures and this was the nicest one!
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!
"Blackie is a beautiful donkey and I hope he lives a long healthy life of peace in his home land" says Alexander Watkens-Goodman. To help him do that Alexander adopted Blackie... That is a good start of the new year!
