On Friday, March 4th, Jana and Alan Poulton from Michigan USA came out to the Sanctuary. This was their first trip to Aruba. They fell in love with our newest addition,Blackie. Blackie is approximately seven months old and was rescued by the Kelly family in Alto Vista.  The Kelly's feed some of the wild donkeys and Blackie came to them with a broken leg. Blackie had his leg operated on again. We thought that it was going to be amputated. However, when we came to pick him up, the Vet had been able to save his leg and put it into external traction. He is still at the clinic recovering and seems to be doing very well. He is trying to put some weight on the leg and is starting to be a frisky little boy by opening the gates of the sick or blind dogs. Everyone at the clinic loves him.
