We have been getting quite a few visitors from Scandinavia lately. Trude Kristoffersen & Muharrem Shehu are from Norway. They adopted Thistle because he reminds Trude of her rescue dog, Jacko.
Glenn and Sandy Olson adopt donkeys since 2009. 7-UP, Roulette, Thistle and Fudge. This year they wanted to adopt Thistle. Thistle fell in love with Sandy. What else can you do? so the adoption runs on behalf of their 9 grandchildren Maggie, Paige, Josiah, Jade, Marissa, Aiden, Adriana, Nicolas and Gabriel.
Holly Panza from Canada loves animals and donates to animal shelters in her home town. She wanted to help the donkeys and decided to adopt Gismo, one of our babies.
