Vicki Deja adopted Thistle, he is such a sweet and gentle donkey. She fell in love immediately. Thistle is with is for some years now. We think he grew up with people. He wasn't shy at all and was easy to walk to the sanctuary since he was found on top of the hill. Espresso followed him on his own, we didn't have to lead him.

Thanks to our sponsors!
