Phyllis Wiitala loves the Donkey Sanctuary. Her mission is to adopt a donkey every year. Last year she adopted Mira and this year her eyes fell on 7-UP. 7-UP is a very naughty donkey. She can open the gates from the visitors center and brings all donkeys inside. It sounds hilarious, but believe me it is not. Poop everywhere, everything destroyed and knocked down. So we are very keen on keeping everything closed and locked!
Michelle Macera's beloved Cocker Spaniel, who died in February, was named Thunder. Hence Michelle adopted our Thunder. also very beloved by many of us!
Michelle Lambert loves Juanito! We think it is a very good reason to adopt him. Juanito was born with us as a surprise baby back in June 1999. We have no clue who is father is. His Mom Maud rejected him, even stood on his hind leg, which broke in the occasion. He has a brother, Twinkle and a sister, Baccha at the sanctuary as well.
Armando David Murillo adopted Boem Boem because he is friendlier than Keto. Keto can be a little shy at times, maybe that is what happened? Boem Boem was born with us on April 24, 2001. he was kicking the fence a lot and the sound it made gave him his name.
Claudia Bakhtiary adopted Simba and Cactus before, this year she adopts Chocolat. That is also possible to switch donkeys. In the end every donkey will get their food and water and medical care and lots of TLC!!!
