Rescue Llamas Need Your Help

We at Llamas del Sol do everything we can to help any llama in need. Sometimes our rescues are because the owners must relocate and can no longer care for their llamas. Other times it is due to hard economic times. And sometimes the rescue is more urgent. Southwest Llama Rescue (SWLR) and Llamas del Sol are working together to provide forever homes to all llamas in need. If you would like to donate to the care of rescue llamas click on our DONATE link that takes you to our 503 (c) tax deductible webpage. If you are interested in foster care or adoption, contact us directly. Thank you, Lynda

LLAMAS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 
All our proceeds go to caring for rescue llamas. We are coordinators for the Southwest Llama Rescue (SWLR) Association and the Rocky Mountain Llama Association (RMLA). There are almost always llamas that are looking for new homes. Please contact us if you would be interested in adopting or fostering llamas.  Please contact Lynda Liptak at llamasdelsol@gmail.com  if you are interested in caring for any of these llamas. Below are pictures of several who need placement in the Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado area. Llamas need llama companions - so any singles will need to find another suitable friend.

This beautiful young male was roaming wild and found one of our volunteer foster farms. Estimated about 3 years old. He is very shy and may have been mistreated. He is in S. Colorado and is looking for a kind home.

These girls all came together and so should remain as pairs, threes, or stay all together. Two of the females are pregnant so we hold them until August/September when the crias are born. The largest one, Pepper, has just begun lead training and can be haltered. One female is barely a yearling.

An elder female with alpaca and llama lineage, gets around very well. She is halter and lead trained. Needs equine senior/supplements added to her diet as she is thin.
