Carol Brooks, from Florida, loves animals. When she came to the Sanctuary, she kissed all the donkeys before deciding on which one to adopt. She chose Bambi who is our small donkey with a birth defect. His spine is not straight. After an e-mail, she wrote that she also wanted to adopt Lucky. Lucky is always with Bambi and taking care of him.

Bambi, another of our cherished friends, had to be put to sleep. Bambi came to us in September 2006. He had a birth defect, scoliosis (a curvature of the spine). As he grew and got older his back became worse and he was having trouble walking. It was not going to get better so the difficult decision was made to let him go to donkey heaven. We will all miss him as will his devoted friend and protector, Lucky.

Thanks to our sponsors!
