This page features llamas in need of a new home, typically due to caretaker crisis.All "homeless" llamas are currently placed. Check back later for new additions, and be sure to check out our other llama pages for some great trained llamas. Value New Home Found S. of Spokane, guarding calves
Given away by a couple getting out of the cow raising business. After being dumped there 8-9 years beforehand along with a second llama that died a week before we arrived, this approx. 10 year old gelding was ignored in the cow pasture. He had no known name, other than "worthless llama", which even the neighbors referred to him as. OBTW, it happened to be mentioned in casual conversation that in their recent years of raising animals they were fortunate to no longer be experiencing a predation problem like their neighbors had. Hmmm... "Value", as we named him, is now serving as guard animal on a large cattle ranch south of Spokane, WA. He was heavily parasited with strongyle and nematodirus but other than that was in pretty good shape when we transported him here. The white spots on his jaw are from a halter that was left on and became ingrown, cut off years before. Surprisingly, once caught he was very easy to halter and lead. I suspect he would make a good pack llama too. Freedom and Independence New Home Found in West Richland
Yakima rescues, whom we've named Freedom (r) and Independence (l), soon after transport to our place in early July. Genealogy unknown. Indy is about 1.5 years old and Freedom is about 2.5 years old. Underfed, heavily parasited, and very underweight when found -- abandoned in
a drylot -- now treated and relaxing in green pasture awaiting new home. BJ New Home Found E. of PascoWhile not homeless and presently being cared for, BJ is looking for a new home. This handsome appaloosa gelding is an experienced guard llama but has no more charges left to guard. He's about 9 years old and is located near West Richland. Easy to handle.
Sallee + Bambee + Smokee New Home Found in Hermiston
Charming Sallee (mom) 6 years old, and Bambee (cria) along with orphan weanling Smokee (left), both males, rescued from a family that has not been able to keep them fed. Smokee's mom died a week before from apparent malnutrition and bloat. Bambee's sire is suspected to be King Solomon. Ready for adoption. Sallee originated in Stanfield, Oregon and is registered with the ILR #237506. Note: Unfortunately Bambee did not survive. He passed away suddenly, possibly due to inadequate passive transfer. Sallee is pregnant, most likely from Cuzco (below). Cuzco New Home Found E. of Pasco, guarding goats
Cuzco is a male, age unknown. From the same location as Sallee, Smokee and Bambee (above). One torn ear tip. Genealogy unknown. It's believed he was obtained via auction. Good guard instinct, yet real good with people. KayTee + Aricontee + Shadow New Home Found for Aricontee (with Cuzco) E. of Pasco. New Home Found for KayTee and Shadow in Hermiston.
These three are from the same location as the preceding two above. KayTee Gal Lunes, the dam, above left, 8 years old, with her month old female cria Shadow, and her yearling male Aricontee. All three are very attached to one another. All are in pretty good shape. KayTee originated from the same farm as Sallee (above) and is registered with the ILR #208197. Aricontee and Shadow may have been sired by Cuzco (above), though Shadow may have been sired by King Solomon (whom she bears stronger resemblance to). Shadow is being treated for pneumonia. There are now no more llamas at the home the above llamas came from. |
