Madison Castleman wanted to adopt that shy donkey Kroket. They had to look for him, took a little while, she found him! Kroket was attacked by dogs many years ago. He had a big wound on the shoulder that needed stitches. He totally recovered, even without a scar.
The Hall family surprised Olivia Lahoff with the adoption of a Coco on her birthday July 17. They knew that Olivia was going to visit us in August so that she could pick her own adoption donkey. Coco came with us with a dislocated foot and pregnant with Chula, which we only found out 11 months later. This was back in 2011.
Victoria Englishman fell in love with Santa 2 years ago. He has a special place in their hearts. So they adopted him.
Sharine Wernet adopted Gypsy and wants to come and volunteer on Saturday afternoon. We like that!
Frank Heitkonig & Debby Levering adopted Mr Bean. Surprisingly Mr Bean has never been adopted before. He is a donkey that is always on his own, not at all shy. Just a loner. He lives on the left side of the parking lot, so no chance he can come to the visitors center to interact with all of us. The adoption is a birthday present for Frank. Happy Birthday Frank!
