This page features llamas in need of a new home, typically due to caretaker crisis.No Names (yet)This pair of classic geldings showed up outside of our property, first spotted near the busy Taylor Flats Road Saturday January 7th, 2012. At risk of entering high speed traffic they were herded back up the road by a passer-by in a truck to our place (which they were attracted to once they spotted our llamas) where I could coax them into a spare pen. One has a halter. Condition appears good. Ownership unknown.
January 8th update: The caretakers have been identified. Unknown to us these two recently arrived in the neighborhood as boarders at one of our neighbors about an eighth mile away. They discovered the llamas absent this afternoon, determined they were here, but have not come to get them yet or committed to do so. January 16th update: The owner wishes to surrender the pair. Little history is known and names are unknown. Dash. New Home Found near Portland, OregonFemale. Age approximately four. She has had one baby. She is friendly and halters and leads well.
Tiki's Easy Bacardi, Stage Stop Damon Hunter, and MV Camouflage. New Home Found near Portland, OregonIntact males just over a year old. From Benton City, WA All three ILR Registered
Fonzie New Home Found near Portland, Oregon
Fonzie is another Salem, Oregon rescue. Now gelded. He's pretty easy going. Halters and leads well. Mr. Sunshine New Home Found near Portland, Oregon
Mr. Sunshine is another Salem, Oregon rescue. Now gelded. He's pretty easy going. Halters and leads well. Little Flower and Leela and Einstein New Home Found for Einstein in Hermiston
Little Flower (darker) and her daughter Leela are January rescues from Salem, Oregon. Einstein, next to Leela, is a youngster also from Flower. Approximate ages are Flower 4yr, Leela 3yr and Einstein 7 months. Flower and Leela were both very skinny (body score 1.5) and suffering from liver failure, but with treatment have recovered and are now doing fine and have gained considerable weight. Coming from a location with an intact male both arrived presumed pregnant, soon confirmed. Weaned (Flower is too emaciated to lactate), Einstein has found a home with others of his age to play with in Hermiston.
Five months later Flower gets a haircut -- revealing just how VERY pregnant she is. Both were very calm and cooperative during the shearing. They delivered their cria's the first weekend of July. The sire is presumed to be Mr. Sunshine (who is also believed to be Leela's sire) above. Bailey (l) & Gemini Peru (r) New Home Found in West Richland
Bailey (left) is a large llama, age unknown but not old. ABSE Gemini Peru, ILR #168432, was born June 22, 1996 in Montana. Both geldings are in good condition and will halter and lead, though Bailey is timid. Gemini is a self-assured and wise old llama, minding his own business but not taking guff from anyone. They have been relocated to our place. Mohamad Ali (l) and Count Divot (r) New Home Found in Hermiston
Divot is registered ILR #85678. Ali is not but has known parentage. Both are gelded males about 18 years old. Retired. Need TLC. Losing their home (caretakers moving). Fernando
Fernando is a handsome and well mannered classic gelding in need of a new home. Currently residing in Pasco, WA. April and Breezee New Home Found
These two seven year old females are about to lose their home in Rathdrum, ID. April (l) is a descendant of Lord Daniel (Jim Logan), noted for exceptionally calm demeanor, and Breezee (r) a descendant of Apricot Brandi (Barb Brady). April has one blue eye and a slightly curved nose, but has no functional defects. Both lead easily and are friendly and inquisitive (especially April). Gandalf, Cashew, Mocha New Home Found in W. Richland for all three
These three yearling (14 months) boys are in need of a new home. They have been relocated to our place to avoid breeding, being the current owner is running their llamas all together. They do not want to have any more crias. (It may be too late...) 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 handsome 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 not 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. 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 (ILR registered). 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 local livestock auction. Strong guard instinct, yet real good with people. Long term report is he has been doing a great job guarding. 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 much stronger resemblance to). Shadow is being treated for pneumonia. There are now no more llamas at the home the above llamas came from. |
