Deanna Spivy adopted Thistle because his tongue hangs out and he is the sweetest. Thistle is with us for many years, it was very easy to put on a halter and walk him to the sanctuary. We were looking for 1 donkey, who was wandering around in the neighborhood of the sanctuary. We got a phone call from our neighbors who said there were 2 (2?) donkeys next to her house. There were Thistle and Espresso. They just walked with us down the hill. We were looking for one and got two. The other missing donkey came back a few days later as well.

Melody Gamba adopted Kidsy who is best friends with 7-UP. Melody says: "I love the Donkey Sanctuary Aruba - Grateful to be able to support their mission! Hugging a donkey is the best and can I adopt them all? Thanks Kidsy for chosing me!"

Angel Lichtenwalker adopted Kamino and says what a sweet Angel. He is! He is super friendly and always in for a hug or two.

Anita and Tony Defillippis adopted Chula and send her best wishes and her pregnant mom Coco as well. Coco's new born is expected any time soom. Gestation is 11-14 months...

Mark Ladu adopted Santa, who is having an abscess on his better leg at the moment. Mark says:"I hope Santa lives a long happy life at the sanctuary". We will make sure there is still quality of life! Of Course!
