Anneloes & David Aaftink went looking for the wild donkeys on Aruba after they paid a visit to the sanctuary. They found little Gypsy dehydrated and constipated in the bushes. She was really very sick and it took about 3 weeks and a lot of medical care and TLC before she was out of the woods. Took her a long time to get used to our food as well. She loved the fresh grass we were cutting for her on a daily bases.

Thanks to our sponsors!
