Help us and Adopt a donkey!

The Aruba Donkey Sanctuary presently takes care of some 120+ donkeys, without any form of subsidy. There fore we are totally dependent on sponsors, donations and especially the adoptions. One donkey costs quite a lot of money: money which is needed for food, medical treatment and the maintenance of the park.

For that reason we have set up an adoption program. Everybody can adopt a donkey for the amount of AWG 360 ( $ 200, € 180.00) per year. There still are quite a number of donkeys waiting for adoption. Click here for payment instructions

Because of the cost, one donkey can have more than one adoption parent.

You adopt a donkey for a period of one year and you can select your favorite donkey. They come in all sorts, shapes, colors and sizes! When you have chosen your adoptive donkey, its photo, with your name as the adoption parent on it, will be published on the adoption page of our website. Go to OUR DONKEYS under ABOUT THE DONKEYS to pick the donkey of your liking.

As an adoption parent you will receive a great T-shirt the first time that you adopt, on which everyone can read that you have adopted a donkey on Aruba. And we shall inform you regularly about the welfare of our donkeys throughout the year. You will receive our periodical newsletter per mail.

Of course, you can also adopt a donkey as a club, school or company. For companies we have implemented a special tariff of AWG. 1.200,- per year

Does this option appeal to you and do you wish to support the preservation of our Aruban donkey? Do you want the Aruban donkeys to enjoy a better life? We post the adoption, with your permission of course, on our website, Facebook and Instagram. You can check the adoption stories on there.

On behalf of all donkeys, but especially of the one you have chosen: thank you very, very much!
