Nandan Kartik wanted to adopt the donkey that bit his shirt. It was his first encounter with donkeys and he still liked him. The name of the donkey is Bono, named after the famous musician.

Brent adopted Santa for his wife Sarah Kennedy as a Christmas present. It is hard to resist with a name like this. Santa is with us since 2013 when we were finally able to rescue him. He walked around with a broken leg for more than 2,5 years. He was so scared, it was very very hard to get him. We tried at least 80 times. We treated the leg. He can use it a little bit.

The Sossa Family adopted Santa for Christmas. This is such a nice idea. We love it. Happy Holidays everyone! Enjoy your time with family or friends of with both!

Mary & Rich Brady adopt another donkey every year for 8 years now. This year they picked Lady Taco. She was just a teenager when she came to live with us. We found her standing next to her dead mom in San Nicolas. The mom died during child birth.

Kelly Macuda & Mike Pellegrino adopted our newest addition. His name is Houdini. About 10 years ago, we lured them in our garden and when he was about to move to our main sanctuary, he escaped from the property by jumping a very small hole in the fence. Before that he escaped the property into our private garden twice. Hence the name Houdini.
