Leigh Riley visited the sanctuary a couple of weeks ago and decided to adopt Santa for the Paws Across Oswego County rescue group. Santa has been with us for many years. He was hit by a car and broke his leg. Since the injury was old we couldn't do surgery anymore. Instead Ricardo injected him every 2 weeks with antibiotics in the fracture and made a sort of internal splint. He is doing fine. Except just before Christmas when he was having an infection in his "good" hoof. After intense treatment the infection is under control. He is okay again. 

Greg and Cass Nall from Texas adopted Prince and Princessa for their grandson Toby. They visited us last year and fell in love with our donkeys. Princessa was walking in front of Desiree’s house with her mom Queeny since they were walking in the middle of the road, Desiree just lured them in. Good thing, because Queeny was pregnant from Prince. We call them the Royal family…..

Lisa Brudnicki adopted Xena, the mare that came in last year around this time while she was in labor with a baby who got stuck and already died. We worked very hard to heal her and it worked. She is now best friends with Woods, who she knows from the San Nicolaas area where they both came from.
