Adoption Thunder by Kerri Gleason January 2025 - 2026

Kerri Gleason adopted Thunder. He was the first she fed and she fell in love with him. He is very sweet. He is indeed, however sometimes very loud. Around 11.30 am he stands in the back of the visitors center and starts braying. Originally the sound will carry very far and in this case under the roof it is deafening. We still love him though.

Adoption Gypsy & Diva by Hetty & Erik Neuteboom January 2018 - 2026

Hetty and Erik Neuteboom renewed the adoption of Gypsy and Diva. When Hetty starts talking to them they come running to her. They know that maybe they will be brushed by Hetty. Especially Gyspsy has bonded with Hetty!

After years of adopting Sombrero and Mon Petit, Hetty and Erik Neuteboom decided to pick up the adoption again but this time a donkey who wants to cuddle. Their friend Gerard Jongmans joined the adoption of Gypsy as well.

Thanks to our sponsors!
