Corey and Angela Smith adopted Gypsy for their kids Kyle and Gia. Gypsy is with us for a couple of months now and is still recovering from being very very sick! She was constipated and had a liver disease. She stayed at the veterinarian clinic for a week where Ricardo Contreras, our long time vet, took excellent care of her. She still needs to be spoiled with sweet carrots and apples for her liver. We don't mind spoiling her....

Kristen Thibodeau ordered a Donkey Calendar for 2019 on-line and also adopted a donkey on-line. The only thing we have to send the T-shirt to her by mail and we do not have a picture of her and Rambo together. It helps us though to take care of Rambo and his 130 friends!
Adoptions can also be considered as Christmas Presents!

Emma Ekbaeck had a lot of fun with her adoption donkey Blackie. He is indeed a very funny guy. Easy to love, he is a real sweet heart.

Rich and Mary Brady adopted Cowboy before. Now they wanted to adopt Keto. First visit he didn't want to be in the picture. When they returned they could even have their picture taken with both Cowboy and Keto!

Madeleine en Rop de Boer come to Aruba every year. Rop teaches at the Universaty and Madelein helps out at the sanctuary. She cleans, feeds and pulls out all those weeds that are not good for the donkeys. Last year they adopted Queeny for their 1st granddaughter, this year Gypsy for their 2nd granddaughter: Zoe van der Vaart. We like that idea!

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.
