LLama and Alpaca

WoodHaven is currently home to:

4 llama & 2 alpaca

  • Phoebe

  • Monica

Monica, Rachel and Phoebe came to WoodHaven as their second rescue. They were the first llama to arrive at WoodHaven Rescue. Originally part of a large group rescued from a breeding operation in Ohio, these ladies were retired in what was thought to be their final home after they were first rescued. When it was discovered that the llama ladies had no shelter, they were moved to WoodHaven as their final home. Sadly Rachel passed away due to old age and seizures, but the other two ‘Friends’ are enjoying their golden years safely at WoodHaven. Paperwork shows Monica being born in 1993 and Phoebe in 1998, which makes these ladies OLD! Average life expectancy for llama is 15 years, but they can live to be 20 or older. We watch them closely to make sure they are getting proper nutrition, stay warm in the winter with blankets if necessary, and stay cool in the summer by shearing and offering cool water in which to stand.

  • Nightmare

  • Champagne

Nightmare and Champagne arrived in June 2022. These elderly llamas are BELOVED pets and have had long careers as 4H animals. However, they were ready for retirement. The younger llama in their old herd could be bossy and the owners of these two sweethearts preferred they live out their lives among other elderly llama. (No llama drama with all of our old gang!) When people visit WoodHaven Rescue, Nightmare and Champagne absolutely love getting extra love and attention. They have settled in nicely with the other seniors, and we hope they will be able to live out their lives all together here at WoodHaven Rescue.

Leo

Leo is one of the newest members to join the farm. He came when his pasture mate passed away due to old age. Here at WoodHaven, we gladly opened up our arms for this handsome fella. Like Dmitri, Leo is a huacaya alpaca. He has what is equivalent to hip dysplasia (that you see in dogs). With the help of our veterinarian, we are trying to find the best way to keep him comfortable but there is no cure since he was born with this. Nightmare, the llama, has claimed the title of Leo’s best friend. And if Dmitri, the alpaca, tries to get anywhere near the lady llamas, Leo tells him to back off!

Dmitri

Dmitri the alpaca was living with all of the minis, and came to WoodHaven after his owner passed away. Alpacas are smaller than llama, but that doesn’t stop Dmitri from trying to boss his lady friends. He is the goofball of the bunch! From his sideway hops, standing or trying to lay down in his water trough to his nervous humming… he keeps us all in laughter.
