Pamela Lee Brown from Virginia visited the Sanctuary in March 2012 and loved all the donkeys. To claim her own, she adopted Pirate who was found wandering in Angochi which is near the old Sanctuary. Until he was about 14 years old, he always walked with his mom Chica. We had to separate them because Chica was getting too skinny and therefor now lives in the DONKIA, to have better and longer access to food. It worked. She looks good now.
