Marie Cameron from Millbury, MA USA came to the Sanctuary April 6th with her husband Tony. In the summer of 2004 they adopted a very shy cocker spaniel named George. Our donkey, George, is also very shy and was in need of an adoptive parent so Marie decided to adopt him. Our George was born in the sanctuary and his mother is Ginger.
Each year Marie and Tony make an appointment to meet George at Bringamosa (our other sanctuary),George the dog is also still, after a few surgeries, doing okay. Thank you for your ongoing support for so many years…..
Cowboy is Linda Shapiro’s donkey-love. She adopted him for a period of two years, starting on March 17, 2004. Cowboy was so unfortunate to have stepped into an air filter with his hind leg. It took three weeks before we were able to cut the burden off of him, which took several hours. With assistance of people from Texas (hence the name Cowboy), this wild donkey is now running around the sanctuary free and very happy. Mrs Shapiro renewed the adoption till march 2010. Thank you very much!
Sunday, March 30th was a speciaL day at the Sanctuary. Our volunteers Matsy & Annete arrived to find a very nice surprise.
Sassy had given birth to a very cute baby. We thought Sassy was pregnant last July but finally decided she was just fat. Boy, did she fool us. The new baby's name is Sunday Dream. Sunday is a very small boy and is full of energy. Doug and Robin Riechel from New York love animals as they take care of seven dogs. They fell in love with Sunday and adopted him.
Since August 2004 Ria Hagen and her husband adopted Ginger. We really appreciate your ongoing support!
Theo Wever feels we are doing a great job taking care of so many donkeys and wanted to help. He has adopted Negrita, one of our black donkeys who was born at the Sanctuary. He visits Negrita often when bringing visitors to the sanctuary.
