The Move OutFor the last walkthrough with Uno and Viejo the afternoon before their walk out of the field see this video: https://studio.youtube.com/video/1zFNRIbGpXE/edit
After 12 years of this being home for the llamas at the Llamas del Sol sanctuary, we have to move the llamas out. The acre of land was sold this November for more than we could afford to pay. We had a good run leasing this property from a kind owner who passed away recently. We will still care for llamas but have to move our llama setup a few blocks away to another field.
We are lucky there is still some open space in the neighborhood with generous neighbors willing to have llamas on their unused land. They also get a good tax deduction for the agriculture credit. These next few videos show the end of an era. Uno and Viejo are the last llamas to move while the new owner is setting up his cattle ranch. We will still take appointments when we can but please be patient while we restructure the visitors area. |
New Geldings are Adopted
Thank you to the Merry S. Graham Foundation for making this possibleWe are grateful to the Merry S. Graham foundation for funding our new tents, tires for our trailer, supplements for the llamas and 4 loads of hay for the winter. We took the liberty of naming two of our new llamas Merry and Graham. Graham is the all brown llama and Merry is the tricolored llama in the pictures below. They have now both been adopted with their herd mates. All seven have moved on to green pastures!
Graham looking stunning and peering toward the sunset.
Merry is always ready for a treat and asks if I have something to nibble on.

Rescue Llamas Need Your HelpWe at Llamas del Sol, Inc. 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 501(c)(3) tax deductible webpage. If you are interested in foster care or adoption, contact us directly. Thank you, Lynda
