Donette Looper is an equine lover. She has 8 horses, a mule and a donkey at home. Now it is time to expand by adopting Roland one of our very friendly and elderly donkeys.

Pamela Lee Brown from Virginia visited the Sanctuary in March 2012 and loved all the donkeys. To claim her own, she adopted Pirate who was found wandering in Angochi which is near the old Sanctuary. Until he was about 14 years old, he always walked with his mom Chica. We had to separate them because Chica was getting too skinny and therefor now lives in the DONKIA, to have better and longer access to food. It worked. She looks good now. 

Melody Thomas adopted Amadeus for her husband's birthday on January 1st. They visited Aruba 10 years ago right after Amadeus was born. They thought he was such a cute little guy. Amadeus used to walk with his mom Bunny until recently when she was homed with the elderly donkeys across the visitors center. He is on his own now and looking for a buddy. That will take some time, it will work out! Don't worry. 

The Pappalardo Family adopted Buri because the donkeys are cute and gentle, they live in a good environment. Buri came to live with us many years ago. We could release him from a can from one of his hind hooves. He also had a big wound on the butt. We were very glad we could help him.
