Ms. Anning H. Smith Sr. from New Jersey wished to adopt one of our Aruban donkeys and name him after her husband: her eye was taken by Mikey, who will now be known as ‘Mikey Egon’. Mikey hasn’t been with us for long but already knows how pleasant it is to hang around the porch – sociable and sometimes delicious! the adoption is to be continued. Thank you very much Ms Anning Smith!
The adoption is renewed with another year till march 2009. Thank you!
Sheri & Gary Thurlow from Florida have been supporters of the Sanctuary. In the past they had adopted Bambi. Since Bambi passed away they decided to adopt two donkeys to celebrate their 18th anniversary. They chose Sunday and Miranda. Sunday was born March 30, 2008. He is a very good looking young donkey. Miranda was born February 27th this year. She is getting friendly and loves to run around her corral.
The Melvilles, Tony and Chrissie, come from Britain and they love animals. They have a sanctuary for cats at their home. While here they visited us and decided to adopt Sunday Dream who was born in March. Sunday Dream was a surprise as we did not know his mom was pregnant.
Gisela Dirksen loves animals. After reading an article in the newspaper she decided she wanted to help us. She chose Diassa, a donkey born in February of this year. Diassa has a heart problem but he is doing very well and is always with his best friend Truffles. In this picture Diassa is only a few hours old.
The children at School Caiquetio colored pictures of donkeys in order to raise money to adopt a donkey. They wanted to do this for Animal Day. The children reached their goal and adopted Ban Ban. Ban Ban was so happy to be adopted that he went to the school to personally pick up their money. He promised the kids that he would come every so often to see how they are doing.
