“Let Care & Compassion be our Legacy”
Gearing Up for Giving Tuesday
Support The Llama Sanctuary Giving Tuesday FundRazr!
The work of rebuilding The Llama Sanctuary at its new location continues apace. Barns, shelters, fencing, infrastructure are taking shape nicely, but there is still much to do. The plan for next year is to restore the land element; clearing, levelling and reseeding pasture and hedgerows. With a huge increase in the number of elderly, crippled and/or underweight llamas arriving at The Sanctuary, the feeding and individual care program has expanded to the point where dedicated daily help is essential. The Llama Sanctuary Society does not receive financial assistance form the government. It’s down to us to ensure that Care & Compassion is our legacy!

Thank You for Saving The Llama Sanctuary
In 2022 The Llama Sanctuary was forced to leave the beautiful park seen in the videos below. The entire Llama Sanctuary, including more than 40 resident llamas and alpacas relocated 3 times in the space of 9 months! A new and long-term home has been found at the Recline Ridge Ecopark in Tappen, British Columbia. In the last 10 months we have erected more than 2500′ of new fencing, constructed 11 buildings and rescued 24 llamas and alpacas!

What is The Llama Sanctuary?

Getting Involved
Saving Animals
Why Save Animals?
You might have noticed the huge increase in animal societies and rescue organizations. This is a direct result of an increasing compassion that is being felt by the people of this planet. This compassion is finding expression through such advocacies as cleaning garbage from the oceans and reducing our use of fossil fuels. This is just the very beginning of a tidal wave of awakening that is occurring, together with a realization that we SHARE this planet with other life forms that have as much right to live as we do. Having developed a passion for llamas and alpacas, life has directed us to provide a special home for those camelids who require assistance.
Why Make a Donation?
Not everyone is in a position to care for animals, nor perhaps have they the experience or inclination to do so. Donating is a way of sharing the burden of cleaning up the mess of human existence and caring for those we might have harmed along the way. The costs of running a large animal shelter are considerable and the hours required to manage all of the animals and all of the enquiries often stretch beyond the hours available. It is a passion that rises from the soul and often demands everything one has and more. We get down on our knees and beg for a penny here and a saving there to try and make ends meet. And we appreciate every word of encouragement and every penny that is offered.

Llama Adoption
Adopting vs Buying
Not all llamas require shearing. The majority of the llamas that come through The Llama Sanctuary are Ccara llamas, which have a coarse guard hair covering a soft under-down. If you are hoping to use fibre from a llama, then the ccara llama is not for you! Also, many of these animals have not been trained or have experienced some form of abuse or neglect and require time and handling to acheive trust and respect. If you require a well trained llama that produces beautiful fibre for spinning, we recommend that you buy from a respected fibre llama breeder.
Animal Welfare & the Law
Canada has a long way to go to reach standards of animal welfare found in other nations, but laws still apply and are improving each year. Where natural compassion and respect are absent or lacking in an animal keeper, then the law can force the keeper to provide proper care or force them to surrender the animal.
