The Ferriman Family has been a great fan of the sanctuary adopting five donkeys over the years. Now that they are retired they cannot adopt so many anymore. Thunder, our very friendly and loving donkey represents 2,5 donkey.
Leigh Ann renewed the adoption of Snickers and told us her family also want to renew. Isn't that great? Thank you Vanderheijden Family....

On World Donkey Day, Leigh Ann Vanderheyden from Aruba brought a young friend, Kaden Wilson aged 5, to the Sanctuary. Kaden fell in love with Snickers, one of new donkeys who is very handsome. He is dark brown with blond inner ears. Snickers is normally very shy but let Kaden pet him. Leigh Ann adopted Snickers for Kaden.
Leigh Ann discovered on Facebook she could adopt donkeys as Christmas gifts and loved the idea. For her parents, Linda & Don Wyman, she chose Chula, our baby donkey who is only a month and a half old. For her brother and his fiance, Doug Vanderheyden and Kelly Hanks, she chose Gismo, who was born the day after his mother arrived at the Sanctuary. Both donkeys are delighted to be Christmas gifts.



The Gordons, Jack, Lucas and Ben, paid their first visit to the Sanctuary and decide to help by adopting Blackie, one of our black donkeys. Blackie had been hit by a car and had a broken leg. Lucas said he will definitely come back to visit not only Blackie but all the other donkeys

The bergkvist family from Sweden visited the sanctuary. All the cousins love donkeys but the only place you can see them in Sweden is at the petting zoo. They decided to adopt their own donkey and chose Ban Ban one of the first donkeys at the sanctuary.
Andrea Ferrazzini chose Negrita, one of our black donkeys, as a Christmas gift for his wife Chiara. What a wonderful gift.
