John & Connie Richardson adopted Flora this time. Flora has her "winter" fur and therefor looks very fluffy. That is what attracted Connie to her. Flora is very shy, never became tame. She had a still birth some years ago and doesn't know if she can trust us or not? I met John and Connie on the parking lot when they left and John told me the donkeys are the reason why they come to Aruba. Isn't that the sweetest thing?

Matthew Coluccio adopted Evan. He did this online. Easy peasy. Evan is with us for many years and is of course part of the big group, however he doesn't have one or two particular friends, which they often do...

Mary and Rich Brady adopt different donkeys every year. This year they go for Pumpkin, our youngest donkey at the moment. The adoption was done online and this is what Rich wrote to us:"Cranberry! Pumpkin! Oh my gosh! Those are awesome names. I love both of those, but I especially love Pumpkin, as it's one of my favorite fruits. Pumpkin, please!!"

Stephanie Jon adopted Miranda Mirna, short Mira who was born right after her mom Snoopy came to live with us. Snoopy, Chica and Pirate were roaming the streets in the surroundings of our old place. We could lure them in with carrots. 

We didn't know Snoopy was pregnant and one day when we went home we saw that Mira (in papiamento the word for "Look") was standing in the bushes of the sanctuary. We said to each other: "Look what we have there!!!)
