Laura van der Kooi en Youri Baartscheer adopted 3 donkeys in total, also one for their son Nathan. They adopted Maud for Laura, Ninja for Youri and Tica for Nathan. Tica is feisty same as Nathan. Maud picked Laura to cuddle with and Youri liked the name Ninja.

Kassandra Kroese adopted Santa for her mom's Mother's Day. Happy belated Mother's Day Christie Gordon! Hope you had a wonderful day.

Angela & Darrin Booth adopted Bringamosa because of his beautiful smile. His nickname is Smiley. He found out that when you do the fleming stuff, people think you are smiling and they will give you treats. Angela and Darrin love supporting the Island. Every time they visit they help the rescues. They also transport puppies to the States.

Mary Anne Farrell adopted Crooked Ear and Kamino before. This year she adopted Ban Ban, our very first donkey. Who is now 30 years old!


Risa Stutz adopted Browney in the past. Unfortunately Browney passed away from old age just a couple of weeks ago. Risa said she wanted to adopt her friend and yes that was Blanca. So here they are! Looking happy they found each other.
