Dali began her life as a pedigreed, registered llama who competed in shows and marched in parades.   At some point Dali and a llama friend  went to live with someone and at some point after that Dali's llama friend died and her new owner became increasingly ill and unable to care for her.  Sweet Dali went from having an active social life to living alone and neglected in a pasture - a sad and lonely existence for a social herd animal like a llama.  Fortunately, she was rescued by Southeast Llama Rescue and came to us and now she shares a pasture with our herd of geriatric llamas,  pigs, goats, turkeys and people and she LOVES it.  She is such a happy, social outgoing lady llama  and she's just a joy to be around.

Marimba is our most joyful llama!  She's like a big kid - she's thrilled to see people coming her way and always first in line for treats.  Her hair is usually a mess and her face is usually smeared with dust, oats or minerals but that only adds to her considerable charm.

Mystique is our most senior llama.  I try to get extra oats in her whenever I can because she tends to be a little skinny.  She occasionally takes treats but much prefers oats and minerals.  Mystique is frequently found lounging under a tree, watching the other llamas meander around the pasture and enjoying the shade.  She's a bit of a shy lady but very sweet and I consider her the grand dame of our little llama herd.

Patrick came to us in July, 2019 along with his buddy, Simon.  They had a long and winding path from their original rescue in Montana to a temporary home in Illinois and then to a couple of wonderful foster homes in north Georgia before getting here to their forever home.  Patrick is a goofy guy who looks like he's wearing a Zorro mask and is always curious and happy when we're around.  He is very photogenic!  

Sweet Pink spent most of her life as a breeder and when her breeding days were over she was tossed away.  Unfortunately, before she  was thrown away, she developed a tooth so infected that it ate into her jaw bone and we're still working with the vets at UGA to take care of that.  Poor Pink  has to have her jaw cleaned and periodically get a course of antibiotic injections.  However, she never loses her sweet, cooperative nature.  She's easy to love.

Rose is a delightful, friendly llama.  She loves children, treats and love.  Poor Rose has some arthritis so she gets a  daily joint supplement which she thinks is her "special treat."  Rose is a beauty both inside and out.

Simon came to us with his buddy Patrick in July, 2019 after a long and winding rescue path from Montana to Illinois to two wonderful foster homes in north Georgia before finally getting to us.  Simon is very dignified and reserved.  He is increasingly interested in getting to know us better and he treats goofy Patrick like a little brother that needs to be watched.  Simon is a delight to be around.
