a fawn-colored alpaca who has lived at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch since 2018. Alpacas may be herd animals, but I was raised all alone. I can be reserved, and it has taken some time to build my confidence. Joining the Barn Buddies and being part of a herd has really helped. I may be shy but have no trouble speaking up with a shreik if the other animals get too close to my food!

My former owner brought me to Longmeadow when they realized they could not provide proper care for me. I am so grateful for that decision. I was overweight and in desperate need of shearing and hoof maintenance by the time I arrived. I have since learned to enjoy the company of horses, donkeys, llamas and other alpacas. But most of all I enjoy the tasty meals provided to us here on the ranch!

Breakfast is my favorite meal, although dinner is pretty good too. And my companions’ leftover meals make a great snack throughout the day. I enjoy taking a dip in the bath when no snacks are available. On sunny days you can find me lying in the small pool in my stall run.

I love living at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch. Hanging out with the other animals has helped me adjust to life in a herd. I look forward to a regular diet of pasture hay and pelleted alpaca feed as a treat. I stay healthy with regular vaccinations, deworming treatments and hoof care. As my sponsor, you help make this possible! Thanks, and remember to come visit me and the other Barn Buddies.
