Donkey Devotee - Scarlett

8 April 2022

We were contacted recently by Scarlett's mum, Natalie, to tell us that Scarlett was really keen to let us know what she had been up to recently.

Scarlett had a distance day in her swimming lesson, and she decided to challenge herself to swim a distance of 3000 meters! This was the longest distance that Scarlett had ever swam. It was agreed that for such a big achievement there should be an incentive, and Scarlett got to choose her own prize.


Scarlett already adopts Belle and Hope, and without hesitation Scarlett asked if her prize could be another donkey adoption! It was agreed that this was a great idea, as it is what Scarlett chose, and it was also helping a charity at the same time.


After 2 and a half hours of swimming Scarlett achieved her 3000 meters! Scarlett was so excited about coming to visit the sanctuary and picking another donkey, that she decided to decorate a t-shirt to commemorate her donkey inspired swim, and we love it!



They visited this week, said they had a fabulous time, and that Scarlett has chosen to adopt Luckie. We are all so impressed by Scarlett's achievement, and so grateful that she chose another donkey adoption as her prize. Well done Scarlett, and thank you! We think Luckie was a great choice!
