Adoption Crooked Ear (a.k.a. Kromoor) by Ashley Knutson May 2009 - 2010

Expired
adoption Crooked Ear by Ashley Knutson at the Aruban Donkey Sanctuary
 

Ashley is from Wisconsin, USA where she volunteers a lot of her time at the local animal shelter. There she helps to nurse wounded wildlife back to health so that they can be safely released back into the wild.  She loves ALL animals, so when her and a group of friends visited Aruba in January 2009, she could not wait to spend some time at the Donkey Sanctuary because she can never pass up a chance to help an animal or support an organization that does so.  Since Ashley enjoyed the Donkey Sanctuary so much, the adoption of Crooked Ear is dedicated to her by her friends.
