Francis & Andre adopted Negrita for their friend Marga Hendrix. All of them are very active in dog rescueing and the black dogs are favorite. Only logic to fall for a black donkey as well. Negrita was born in May 2005. Looking good for her age isn't she?

Angela & Michael Nicol from Ohio are on their honey moon here on Aruba. Came with De Palm Tours to the sanctuary and decided to adopt Cactus. All had to go very fast. Pick donkey, pick T-shirt, Make picture and feed Cactus. Everything in about 20 minutes.... Congratulations on behalf of all us at the sanctuary and have a good life together..'

Dee Sossa loves the stories about how the donkeys were workers on the island. With no place to go and that we are kind enough to build them a sanctuary. So she decided to adopt Cactus to help us out. This is the closest Cactus wanted to come. Still very shy!

Rowan, Becky (Curly) Casey, Becky & Ziggy, Jessica, Neve, Sarah and Alex from Askham Bryan College, York UK worked very hard at the sanctuary for 2 weeks. Before they came to Aruba they also worked very hard with fundraising for the donkeys. They got together $1000 so they adopted Thistle (Curly is what they called him), bought some Delft Blue tiles and made a very generous donation! Thank you girls for all the hard work!
