Nelleke & Maarten Vermeule adopted Sgt Pepper since 2016, the year that he came to live with us. Since Sgt Pepper recently passed away and Nelleke and Maarten since a long time are back on the Island they were able to pick out a new donkey to adopt. Our new donkey Pluto! He is still shy however that gives us a different picture. Nice for a change.

elleke & Maarten Vermeule are coming to the sanctuary for 2 years now. They wanted to adopt a donkey. The choice wasn't difficult, although they can choose from 125 donkeys on sight. They choose our new donkey from Curacao. His name is Sergeant Pepper.

Thanks to our sponsors!
