The Byington sisters paid a visit to the Sanctuary to meet our four legged family. Maryanne decided to adopt a donkey for her sister Martha. Blanca was the lucky donkey who was picked. Blanca has a very slim face and she is a real lady. She does not push her way to the front of the line when food is being given. She waits her turn.
The adoption is ongoing. The sisters come every Christmas to see their beloved Blanca.
Our youngest donkey, Sparkle, is so very loving that it is very hard to resist his charms. Sparkle is born July 12, 2008. Joyce Irausquin, who lives on Aruba, fell in love with him and had to adopt the little cutie.
Margot Goeyers received an adoption of a donkey as a birthday gift from some very good friends. They chose Riba for her as she is a person who must do something when an animal is in need. Riba is a very young donkey who broke her hip and leg May 2008. In the picture Riba with her friend Storm.
Theresa Francis is from Virginia and came to the Sanctuary. After looking over all the donkeys, she chose Browney, one of three brown donkeys. You can tell Browney as her neck muscle is not very strong and flops over.
Chris & Jenn Odhner must love donkeys. They adopted Riba while on their honeymoon.Then for Chris' birthday he asked for money to donate to the donkeys instead of getting presents. He received so much money they decided to adopt another donkey and chose Kromoor which is Dutch for Crooked Ear, who is one of our really friendly donkeys.
