Presley Paris, the son of Eddy and Lisette Paris, is enjoying a ride on Ban Ban.  The Paris family allow us to use their property for the Sanctuary and they have also adopted a donkey from the beginning of the sanctuary. The Vice President of the Foundation has written a book called "Kosh Kosh, the Green Donkey From Aruba".  To show the Foundation's gratitude for all the Paris family has done for us, the first copy of the book was presented to Presley Paris on Animal Day 2006.  Again Thank You Paris Family.

 

 

ACCP 2006 is a convention for police commissioners in the Caribbean and was held in Aruba this year.  They decided to adopt Chippie.  Chippie certainly knew how to get them to adopt him.  He decided to gently nip the trousers and purse of one of the spouses and got her attention.  He now has a nickname, Nippie. 

Adoption from May 27, 2006 - 2007

Henrietta Hyatt comes to the sanctuary each year. This year she chose to adopt the new baby, Luna Midushi, who was born on Monday, June 11th.  She adopts the donkey for her grandchildren Madison Pointer and Maxwell Nelson. The baby is so cute.  Last year she adopted One Eye who is the mother of the new baby.

Unfortunately Luna Midushi was run over by the big donkeys and did not survive. She died June 30 only 19 days old. Henrietta adopted Luna Midushi's mom One Eye instead.

Shannon Belaney and her husband are from Ohio and they were celebrating their honeymoon on the white beaches of Aruba.  Because Shannon's favorite animal is the donkey, the newly-married couple wanted to go to the donkey sanctuary.  After giving the donkeys lots of carrots and buying some donkey-stuff, they decided to adopt a donkey.  In her heart Shannon wanted to adopt all of them, but finally chose Crooked Ear.

The Burgess and Clark families from Massachusetts and New Hampshire come to Aruba often.  This year they decided to visit the Sanctuary and instead of going to the Casino and spend their money they are going to adopt Negrita.  They have asked that Negrita be given a middle name of Jackie.  Most of donkeys only have one name so she is really special now.

Adoption January 2, 2006 - January 2, 2007

 

The Byington sisters paid a visit to the Sanctuary to meet our four legged family.  Maryanne decided to adopt a donkey for her sister MarthaBlanca was the lucky donkey who was picked.  Blanca has a very slim face and she is a real lady.  She does not push her way to the front of the line when food is being given.  She waits her turn.  

The adoption is renewed till December 2008. Thank you!

The van Toorn family live on Aruba and volunteer at the Sanctuary on weekends.  The two girls, Mette and Marinthe, work hard helping their father.  They love Bono and decided to adopt him.  As the girls say, Bono
is so sweet and nice.  Thank you girls for all your
help and keep loving Bono.
A nice way to celebrate the holidays is to give an
adoption gift to friends.  Catharina Ruys gave her
friends, Kaela & Nikki vd Vaart, a one year adoption of one of our babies, Sky.  Sky was born this summer to Sasha and is very adorable.  This is a gift that gives all year long.
