Karen Forrest & Michael Johnson had fallen in love with the donkeys when they visited several years ago. Karen and Michaels supported us during the years but this time they decided to adopt Sonic, a small, light brown donkey with very curly hair. He also walks with a limp most of the time.

Stacy Morane from the U.S. who stays at the Playa Linda found out she could adopt a donkey. She chose our youngest donkey Gismo as her adoptee.

Charlotte Wipple who is 10 years old, visited the sanctuary four times on her vacation to Aruba. She fell in love with Chula who is one our babies and decided to adopt her. We hope Charlotte's family took a nice picture of her and Chula, so we can place it on our website?

Max, Thomas & Kamea Scheinfeld wanted to adopt animals. They plan to adopt a goat in Africa but that will be someone's Christmas present. Now they chose to adopt Gismo, our baby, as their Aruba donkey.

We mentioned on Facebook that adopting a donkey would be a great Christmas gift. Margaret McKeen took the suggestion to heart and decided to give herself the loving gift of adopting Cowboy. Cowboy is the donkey who had stepped into a truck air filter.
Thank you Margaret for renewing the adoption!
