Bliksem, one of our recently rescued donkeys, is very fortunate to have adoptive parents Tim Hinds and Michele Ashby. These lovely people adopt animals wherever they travel. So far they have adopted a gorilla, a buffalo, a sea turtle and 3 pigs. Bliksem came to us with two very bad wounds on his neck. He is doing very well and one of the wounds has already healed.

Glenda Kock read an article about Diassa in the newspaper and wanted to help us with his medical care. Diassa needs heart medicine each day. She has adopted him which he is very happy about.


Naomi Bernasco and her Mom came to the Sanctuary with ABC Peuterschool The school adopted Negrita but Naomi wants her own donkey and after reading about Sonic chose him as she did not want the same donkey the school had adopted.

Kim, Tracy and Mike are from New Jersey and paid a visit to the Sanctuary on June 10th. They all liked what we do and decided to adopt Tio Mexico one of our old donkeys, who years ago had a stroke.


Allie Cunningham from Colorado visited us in October and fell in love with Sunday Dream, a lovely young male born at the Sanctuary. To help us out she chose to adopt him.
