Angela van der Helm wanted to adopt Santa and wants to stay informed about him. We will do our best! As soon as we have received a picture of Angela and Santa, we will replace this one.
Santa was hit by a car in San Nicolas, June 2010. It took us 2,5 years to catch him. We treated his leg and he is doing great now. Having quality of life....

Emma van Schijndel adopted ViShIn. She fell in love with his small eye....ViShIn was probably born like this. One of his eyes is very very small. We don't think it is bothering him.

Loes Fokkema adopted Muppet right before he died of a severe colic. She has 3 donkeys in the Netherlands and decided to adopt Diva instead. Unfortunately we do not have a picture of Loes and Diva, good reason to come back to Aruba...


Helma Blankenstein from Hoorn, the Netherlands fell in love with our Black Diamond. A sweet donkey born in August 2012. He lives with us since 2013 together with his mom, Big Momma....

Larry Peddenpohl adopted Crooked Ear, he says:"You're doing a good job". Thank you Larry!

Take Route 4a from the hotels and follow this road for 14 km, pass all the circles/roundabouts until you see a sign for the French Men’s Pass. Make a left turn onto the French Men’s Pass, then 1st left, 2nd right. On that dirt road you will find the Donkey Sanctuary after about 200 meters.
