Back in May Mrs. Wierda and Mrs. Bossenbroek came to the sanctuary. They loved the work we do and adopted Tootsie. Tootsie was pregnant so they decided to also adopt her unborn baby. After a great deal of patience Tootsie gave birth to her baby which the ladies name Boefie. The adoption was a gift for Joy Bossenbroek.

Henrietta Hyatt comes to the sanctuary each year. This year she chose to adopt the new baby, Sunday Dream, who was born on March 30, 2008. She adopts Sunday, like Negrita and Luna before, for her grandchildren Madison Pointer and Maxwell Nelson. Thank you Henrietta for your ongoing support!
Milou van Gils worked at the Sanctuary for 10 weeks as a trainee from Holland. She was an extremely hard worker and fell in love with all the donkeys. One of her favorites was Mira(nda) Myrna, a shy baby born at the end of February. She spent a lot of time with Mira and soon Mira was not as shy. To thank Milou for all her hard work and dedication to the donkeys while she was here, we gave her a year's adoption of Mira. Milou also wanted to adopt a donkey and decided to make it a family affair by choosing Snoopy, Mira's mom.
