Dan Gutmore adopted Thistle for Robert Dunn. Thistle stole their heart. He is a sweet donkey that sucks his tongue after eating a sweets or some pellets.

Barbara Beyer adopted Santa one of our very friendly donkeys who was hit by a car in June 2010. He has a crooked leg, which he can use very well since he had surgery on it in 2013. It took us more than 2,5 years to catch him...

Dave & Lynn Zwart from Grimsly wanted to adopt Blackie because their family name means Black in Dutch. We think it is a nice enough reason! Blackie came to us when he was about 7 months old. He was hit by a car and broke his front leg. Which you can still see the way he walks, but he can do everything with it. Run, play and even fight if necessary...

Maureen Hoatson, Anne Rodriquez & Sheila Garnder adopted Cloudy the Pirate as a mascotte for their school.

Tim & Lisa Kappert love animals and want to help take care of them. They adopted Thistle with his funny tongue.
