The adoption of Tu Tu was a present for Eddy Tromp, given by his sister Lourdes. Eddy is very happy with his present and visits Tu Tu once in awhile accompanied by his mother and sister.
Eddy is one of the first adoption parents. The adoption begins November 2003 and is a continuing story.

Every year Tomas and Rachel visit the Sanctuary at Rachel's insistence. Rachel read about us in one of the magazine on her first trip to Aruba and comes to the Sanctuary to feed the donkeys apples. They feel very strongly about the work we do and they want to contribute to our efforts. Tomas decided to adopt Fifi and give the adoption to Rachel as a Christmas gift this year.

Debbie Sheehy from Virginia is an animal lover who visited the Sanctuary and fell in love with Riba, a donkey with broken bones. She decided to help Riba by adopting her for a year.


For some reason we have had a donkey at the sanctuary for quite awhile that had no name. Somehow we forgot to name him. He is with us for many years though. Maggie & David McArthur from Virginia want to contribute in a small way and had the honor of naming our nameless donkey. They have decided to name him after their dog who passed away this year.

Monica King and Larry Johnson are celebrating their 10th anniversary when they came to the donkey sanctuary on the day in 2009 that Roulette was born. Monica and Larry decided it would be a great way to celebrate their anniversary by adopting a donkey and chose Roulette. The adoption is to be continued..... Thank you! And this is how Roulette looks like December 2013....
