A former volunteer and Board member, Pedro Nunes, no longer can work with animals, but that does not stop his love for the donkeys.  He really misses Tica, who is one naughty girl and was an escape artist until we put in a second gate.  Pedro decided to show his love for Tica by adopting her. When taking this picture he realized it wasn't fair to Maartje who devoted all her love for Pedro in the past. Whenever Pedro had a break during volunteering at the sanctuary, she always was there and put her head in his lap...... So another adoption came through for Maartje as well... Maartje is second from the left. Thanks Pedro! Do you have more favorite donkeys?

John and Cora Eggers from Massachusetts are dedicating their adoption of Cloudy to Billie.  They had adopted Yeeha, who passed away, so they decided to choose Cloudy, Yeeha's Mom.

The Griemsmann Family come from New York and read about our Sanctuary.  On a recent visit to Aruba they decided they would like to adopt a donkey and picked Nariz who came to the Sanctuary in 2007 and was pregnant when she came in.  She has a daughter, Cookie.

Myrthe Hagenbeek is a lovely little girl who loves donkeys.  She likes both the old ones and the babies.  She decided on a baby and had to make a choice between Magic and Roulette.  Roulette won because you can cuddle and kiss him.  Myrthe will be 5 in June and has decided to have her birthday party at the Sanctuary with 10 to 15 of her friends and family.
Roulette will help her celebrate.
