Maverick Murrell adopted Blackie, he visited twice last week to snuggle with Blackie. Blackie likes to cuddle and snuggle! Cannot get enough attention.

Drew Holland adopted Thistle. She said: "We fell in love with the donkeys at the sanctuary and are so happy we get to adopt one and help!" Good choice. Thistle is such a sweetheart. He likes to cuddle.




Sheri Schmick from Florida suggested the name for this feisty donkey back in 2010. Truffles is her name. Sheri renewed the adoption for Truffles & Diva ... Thank you very much Sheri!
Here are some new pictures....




Jackson & Hannah Bukowski adopted Cactus because Hannah says he is cute. And he is. Still a baby, about 3 years old and still very shy... The adoption is renewed! thank you.....


Cynthia Lungi came prepared with loads of carrots. Blackie is one of the smart donkeys who knew right away. He followed her all the way to the visitors center to get HIS snack. She had to adopt him, no more words needed. Blackie was hit by a car back in 2005 when he was about 7 months old. He broke his front leg. After surgery the leg healed well. He can do everything, run, play and everything that a donkey does, however he walks like Charlie Chaplin

Take Route 4a from the hotels and follow this road for 14 km, pass all the circles/roundabouts until you see a sign for the French Men’s Pass. Make a left turn onto the French Men’s Pass, then 1st left, 2nd right. On that dirt road you will find the Donkey Sanctuary after about 200 meters.
