Mari Cartagonova visited us and later she decided to adopt Santa, one of the donkeys that has been hit by a car.
Malin Edhagen & Kris Bardzinski from Sweden found us on the internet and were eager to come and visit us. They also read about our request for the kwihi beans and brought many of them. To adopt Baccha was just the next step! Thank you for coming back with tons of carrots. The donks loved it....
Karen Detling and her family adopted Chocolat. Karen volunteered a morning and wanted to help us out not only with hands on but also with the adoption of the leader of the pack....
Clara Miller loves donkeys, she is asking for a donkey since she is 5 years old. Today she adopted Nariz because she is so friendly. All donkeys are friendly. When back in the States she is going to rescue 2 donkeys. 2 because they are social animals and need company of their own species.
While all donkeys were "locked up" in the Donkia during Aruba Doet (national volunteer day in the Dutch Kingdom). Andrea MacDonald visited the sanctuary and picked Thistle to adopt! The donkeys were locked up because We were building a shelter for the donkeys and didn't need their help.
