Shirley & Nina van der Westen adopted Woods because of her beautiful fluffy ears and because of her loss of her baby Tiger that day. Thank you for adopting her.

Annie Maessen is like the Riddderbeekx family a horse person. She was charmed by our donkeys though. Especially little Lugo who is with us for a couple of months now. It was hard to get Lugo in the adoption picture though.


Kevin, John, Judith & Ryan Ridderbeekx are horse people. They were very impressed how the sanctuary is set up and is running. They adopted 3 donkeys to support us. Zoja, Sinbad and Jagger. Sinbad and Jagger look like they are brothers, it is hard to keep them apart. They live with us for a long time except for Zoja who came to live with us a couple of months ago.



Patricia & Edwin Geijsen adopted 3 donkeys Kamino, Kromoor and Esmeralda. Patricia has been very ill last year and is happy she recovered. That took a lot of will power, same as for Kamino, who lost his leg due to a traffic accident. She feels connected to these 3 donkeys!

Emily & Nate Garbey adopted Kamino because they have 5 dogs and they needed a donkey. Kamino is our 3 legged donkey. He was hit by a car and had his leg amputated. He is doing great. Talks, walks and interacts....

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.
If you have a GPS device, navigate to these coordinates:  N 12°48.974’  W 069°96.642’  This will bring you to the entrance of the Donkey Sanctuary.
