As of today things are going well. He is making his way in the different pasture areas scoping things out of all the goings on in the surrounding area of our road. The hay is good and he is enjoying the pellets. Kindof thinking we may have another "AUTUMN" in him. Kids will love that and he had two little human boys as his buds. He come to just the right place.

Our year end letter has been sent out and we want to THANK YOU for your support. We cannot continue to do what we do without your caring and sharing. Our 21st year as a non profit has brought us so many wonderful memories of the many llamas and alpacas that have come to us and I have so many memories of the many that come to me before I become the non-profit. Makes my heart rejoice that people entrusted the many to my and our care for the past 36 years. char hakes (llamagrl)

Last week, we welcomed a local homeschool group for an educational tour at Safe Haven Llama & Alpaca Sanctuary — we love meeting new friends! 🦙💚
Students met our rescue herd, learned how we provide specialized care, and discovered the difference between llama and alpaca fiber.

Highlights included spending time with our calm ambassadors and a lively Q&A about responsible ownership and rescue. We’re so grateful for families who value hands-on learning and animal welfare.

Safe Haven offers private tours and field trips tailored to age and curriculum — perfect for homeschool groups, co-ops, and small classes.

Checking in on all our friends as the time changes. The days may shift, but our gratitude stays constant. Each sunrise over the pasture reminds us how lucky we are — for the alpacas and llamas, for this land, and for every heart that supports our sanctuary. Thank you for walking beside us in all seasons. 💛

🖤 Would You Be Willing to Sponsor Kiora?

Our Beautiful Black Queen

$200 per year helps cover her feed, toenail trims, medical care, and annual shearing.
Your sponsorship supports her continued comfort and happiness here at Safe Haven.

Meet Kiora
Kiora, our adorable and elegant black-as-coal huacaya alpaca, came to us in 2011 from Livingston, Montana. Her previous owners, facing health challenges, could no longer care for their herd. They entrusted Kiora to Safe Haven, knowing she would be cherished and never used for breeding. Because of complications with birthing, this was the best choice for her safety and well-being.

Kiora has a delightful personality and always brings smiles to those around her. On warm, sunny afternoons, she loves standing over a sprinkler head or stretching out in a cool water trough. If you’re filling a tank nearby, she’ll happily stand still for a refreshing spray from the hose!

She also enjoys her walks—although she’s known to make her own rules. Once, when a group of young visitors took her for a stroll, she found a big mud puddle and promptly plopped right down in it!

Each spring, around the end of May, Kiora proudly stands in the chute for her annual shearing. Her gorgeous, heavy, zig-zagged black fleece falls away in soft waves—fiber so beautiful it could be spun into stunning garments.

Like many alpacas, Kiora prefers her independence. She’s not overly fond of cuddles but keeps a sharp eye on everything happening in the herd—sometimes even acting a bit bossy!

Safe Haven Llama & Alpaca Sanctuary, Inc.

Safe haven Llama and Alpaca Sanctuary is a local non profit in Corvallis Mt. SHLAS rescues neglected, unwanted, abused and mistreated llamas and alpacas. No Llama or alpaca is turned away. Most of our residents are elderly and need extensive vet care daily.

SHLAS is 100% Volunteer run and depends on donations to survive. All cash donations go direct to pay for vet costs, food (treats and hay costs), Leads, Blankets and llama coats for winter, and any other needs to care for these amazing critters. You can be assured any donations will go directly to the welfare of the animals we are entrusted with.

Charlene Hakes began caring for neglected and abused llamas and alpacas in the mid-1990's, and Safe Haven Llama & Alpaca Sanctuary was incorporated in 2005 to aid her in this mission. To find out more about our sanctuary, please visit our website or schedule a time to come meet our residents at SHLAS.
