Sharon and her friend visited the sanctuary briefly. This is what they said in their e-mail:

It was a wonderful time and you guys certainly care for the animals there, and it shows!  I only wish that we had had more time to spend with them. 

You can see how happy Brenna is. She adopted Santa, who recently had surgery on his broken leg. He was hit

by a car in June 2010 and it took more than 2, 5 years to bring him into our care. The ligaments of his leg became short due to the injury therefor 2 out of 3 ligaments had to be cut. It looks very good.....

Coco has new adoption parents as well. Libby and Jeremy Smolik wanted to help us. Being very enthusiastic they had to choose a donkey out of the 71 who remain in our main sanctuary at the moment. That was not as difficult as it seems to bed. Coco put all her charms in and the rest is history....

Frederique Hofland & Marcel Wils adopted Big Momma and Black Diamond for the first time in November 2013 and even though they didn't return to Aruba for vacation, they still renew the adoption every year. Isn't that sweet?
