Nader and Claudia Bakhtiary visited the sanctuary three years ago and adopted Rason.  Rason decided to leave the sanctuary (we expect him back one of these days) so Claudia chose another donkey to adopt.  They picked Simba a donkey who has been with us since August.  Simba was always walking with another donkey who unfortunately was kill by a car in August.  Simba is a very good looking donkey who is now enjoying the company of all the other donkeys.  He is not alone anymore.

Lisette Baan and her family lived on Aruba while her husband was with the Marines. They will return in 2010 to live. To get used to the idea of living here they decided to adopt Tica. She is one of our naughty donkeys and remind them of their children.

Alicia Valencia and Adam Unterbrunner, while on their honeymoon on Aruba, visited the sanctuary and said it was "a beautiful place for the donkeys to live and enjoy life". They decided to adopt Roulette who was born in January of this year.  We wish Alicia and Adam a long and prosperous
marriage.

The Schilders, Fred & Sylvia, from the Netherlands have two horses, VIP and Ko. One is brown and the other is white. When they visited the Sanctuary they decided to adopt two donkeys. They chose Brownie whose mane is not straight because of a weak neck muscle. Of course Brownie is brown. Then they picked Sasha who is white. Sasha is the mother of Andrew, JJ and Sky.
