Safe Haven Llama and Alpaca Sanctuary

06/22/2025

A few of our board memebers and volunteers visited a local llama show this weekend.

Groomed to perfection, halters just so, walking with purpose and polish.
Beautiful creatures—every one of them.

But here’s what one of the board members said:
“I’ll clap for the winners and admire the shine,
but my heart is forever tethered to the crooked ones.
The limpy, scruffy, anxious, “what even happened to your haircut” kind.
The ones who need coaxing, patience, and a second (or third) chance. The rescues, the neglected, the surrendered.

But gosh what an incredible event, and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks to all who put on such a great show!

That’s the thing about sanctuary work.
We don't look for showstoppers—we fall for the ones who never stood a chance in the ring.
And love them just as they are.

🦙💛 Our Fuzzy Friends Need a Little TLC 💛🦙

We have a few special residents at the sanctuary who are heading to the vet soon for X-rays and wellness checks, and we’re reaching out for a bit of extra support to help cover their care.

✨ Nutrise the llama has been a little stiff lately.
✨ Solary had a growth on his leg and needs a closer look.
✨ Naomi is limping, and we want to make sure she’s okay.

These gentle, curious animals are so loved, and making sure they’re healthy and comfortable is our top priority. The cost of X-rays and follow-up care adds up quickly, but with your help, we can give them the attention and compassionate care they deserve.

💛 If you’d like to contribute to their care, we’d be incredibly grateful. Every bit helps!

Even if you can't donate, sharing this post helps us reach more animal lovers. Thank you for being part of their journey! 💫
