Ernie and Debbie Johnson choose Blackie to adopt because we love him, we love all animals. We love him too. He is with us since 2005 after he broke his leg in a car accident.

David Michael Felt is adopting Kodak, because he seems like a guy who has had a rough time and deserves a break. Kodak is with us since 2003. We found him in the hills at the Natural Bridge with half of his hind leg eaten away by the screw worms. To heal he stood on 3 legs (like a tripod) for a month. Luckily the only thing you notice is a small scar on his leg. All the flesh grew back!


Jolanda, Antoinette & Imke Verwej van Voorst visited their family on Aruba and spent a morning at the donkeys. When they came home they decided to adopt one of our very friendly donkeys Chula. Chula means beautiful in Mid American Spanish. And that she is.

Barbara Himes & Maeve Montag adopted Governess because she reminded them of Maeve's dog. The donkey and the dog are both brown!

Christine Terry and her husband came with lots and lots of apples and carrots. The donkeys LOVED them. Especially Azzy, so they decided to adopt her.

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.
