The Doorenbos', Jacqueline and Huib, are the neighbors to the donkey sanctuary.  They love animals and have two street dogs named after two  of the 101 Dalmatians, Patch and Pongo.  They love living next to the Sanctuary and wanted to know if we had a donkey named after a Disney character.  Of course, we have Bambi so they deiced to adopt him on an ongoing basis.

However Bambi had to be put to sleep.  Bambi came to us in September 2006.  He had a birth defect, scliosis (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.Jacqueline and Huib continued to support us by adopting Kodak instead of Bambi.
