Our Residents
Each of our Safe Haven residents has an interesting and unique life story. Often it is heartbreaking, but when a llama or alpaca can get the care he or she needs from us at Safe Haven, their story takes on a more heartwarming tone.
Most all of our residents will remain at Safe Haven for the remainder of their lives, as they have special needs or are simply too old to relocate.
We invite you to get to know some of our permanent residents and to appreciate the depth and variety of their personalities.
The following information offers you a brief insight into the individuality of these sensitive, curious and intelligent animals that have found their way to our sanctuary. This is just a sampling of the many llamas and alpacas we have rescued.
Let us know if you would like to learn more about any of these animals and remember, you can easily donate to help us care for each and every single one.
We Currently Have a little over 30 Llamas and Alpaca Residents living at Safe Haven.
Enjoy Some Wonderful photos from our kind crew!
Please understand these llamas and alpacas are NOT adoptable due to extensive vet care needs.
Gunner
Gunner is a nosy lad who enjoys hanging with the bunnies.
He is a VERY curious soul and has to greet every visitor who comes to Safe Haven. Gunner has been a resident for a few years.
Dolly & Lolly
Dolly (left) and Lolly (right) are some of our newest residents. They are beauties!
Dolly is a kind soul who integrates well with the herd. Her honey-brown fiber is gorgeous!
Lolly likes to be the queen of the herd and can sometimes overpower her affection towards you; adorable - but sassy. This is part of being partially imprinted on as a cria.
Encontata
We have never met a more kind, gentle soul than Encontana. She is pure joy.
Bred into the fiber category, she has inherited being broken down in her pasterns at an early age. Encontata is around 20 years old but enjoys the sunshine and hanging in the pasture with the ladies. Her favorite part of the day is "treat time"!
(San) Tiago
Meet Gunners brother. Currently Tiago is going through some daily vet maintenance on his jaw. He had bone fragments broken in his jaw which are caused by possibly being kicked by another llama. They were removed but it has not healed and after a year is still abscessing. Surgery may be needed soon.
He is a strong willed man who arrived at Safe Haven in early 2020.
Please Click Here to Donate to his daily vet care. We need assistance in buying medicine, needles and possible surgery cost.
Fiona and Talia
Gorgeous mom and daughter.
They arrived at Safe Haven in the Fall of 2023 with seven other feral llamas. Talia (daughter/right) is a true beauty and has learned to trust humans.
Fiona (mom/left) is a kind old soul. She came to us with an old injury in her neck, eye ulcers, and a bacterial skin condition. She has gone through extensive vet care and is healing but she will never be 100%.
Her vet care costs are over $800.
Safe Haven needs assistance in paying for her needs. Please Click Here to help pay for Fiolas vet bills and aftercare.
Dannalee
Say Hello To Dannalee.
This inquisitive lady is acting Vice President of the feral herd that came to the sanctuary Fall of 2023.
Danalee is around 12 years old.
She is learning to trust humans and getting better on a lead. She was successfully sheared for the first time in her life without incident. She is one of the tallest gals at the sanctuary. Shes such a knoble beautiful creature!
Pascal
Pascal is one of the feral herd that came to the sanctuary Fall of 2023. He is a gentle chap. Older and more frail than most, but he's receiving the best care and medical attention. His fiber had never been sheared before arriving and he was SO happy when the weight of that was gone! He came to us a little on the thin side but is thriving with hay, pellets and healthy pastures. It's a delight watching him learn that humans are safe. Schedule a visit and come meet this magnificent gentle lad.
Kiora
Kiroa is one of our alpaca residents who loves to play in the water. Kiora has struggled tremendously during the fire season and smoke makes her VERY ill. We almost lost her in early fall 2020. She's living her best life here at the sanctuary and is such a delight.
Harmony
A sweet melody at Safe Haven. Harmony is a delicate soul who has been at Safe Haven for years. She enjoys Spring and eating fresh grass in the West Pasture.
She has the personality of a Kardashian. She is quire the queen!
Sentiya
Sentiya came to us in the Fall of 2023 as part of the feral 9. We are working on building trust and relationship with her. Recently she was haltered for the first time which means she can now receive necessary veterinary care. What a beauty this girl is!
Pria
Little Pria (Formally Curley)
is Our Little Lady .
She is THE tiniest and most frail little girl.
She was surrendered to Safe Haven (along with Mo) in Mid 2021.
Since arriving at at the Sanctuary she has made friends with the other alpacas and LOVES to hang at the hay. She also LOVES the sunshine.
Pria is about 8 years old.
Powder
Oh, our little Powder. She is almost a mini and was left by herself in open fields, lonely and sad. She was brought here as the previous owner was moving and could not keep her. For a few years now she has had some arthritis develop in her left front knee and shoulder. What a girl, stands still and lets Char wrap it for her. A few of her teeth are missing and she is showing her age but nothing stops her from keeping up with the herd. We love her and are so grateful she gets to spend the rest of her life with us!
Did You Know Safe Haven goes through a Bag of pellets a Day?

The Ladies Lined Up for Pellet Treats on a Beautiful Spring Evening.
Gunner Likes to Peek In the Windows and See if he can get his cute llama lips on some delicious pellet treats.
Sisko
While Sisko is the most handsome lad of the bunch: he has severe behavior issues towards humans as he was imprinted on in his young life.
Llamas who have been imprinted on usually have long term mental issues and can be a challenge.
Safe Haven rescues neglected, abused, and unwanted llamas & alpacas, and Sisko falls into the abused category as well as the unwanted.
It may take his lifetime to teach him his limits on what is and isn’t okay behavioral wise.
He’s pushy, can be aggressive and wants to be in charge. But he also has an excellent personality and is a great guard when stray dogs, foxes, or any other animals come around that do not belong on the property.
His eyes will melt your heart: and then you have to snap out of it and remember what a Turkey he can be.
Solaray
Solaray is a gentle ray of sunshine. His name says it all. He is one of the sanctuary's favorites. He is gentle and kind and leads well. When we have visitors he is always in line to be walked. He is always ready for snacks and loves a good nap in the sun.
Bryley
Miss Bryley Belle is going to be 24 years old in a few months. She is doing well and loves her fruits, vegetables, pellets, and even attention. She was one of the sanctuary's original llamas and I am so overjoyed that she is back where she belongs. This Montana gal is such a gem!
Autumn & Velvet
This mother-daughter duo came to us in 2020. Autumn (daughter/left is kind, curious, and MUST know what you humans are doing and has to be first to greet anyone arriving to visit.
Velvet (mom/right) is gentle and sweet with a more reserved personality. She came to us with some previous damage to her trachea and has a chronic skin disorder requiring treatment. To donate to Honey's continuing medical care please Click Here.
Mo
Mo is a bigger alpaca and came to the sanctuary in 2021. Mo has the sweetest temperament and has a chin wattle that hangs from his lower left chin and makes him even more endearing. He is one of Safe Haven's PR animals and eagerly welcomes all who visit. Anyone who meets MO leaves with a smile. He's a resident favorite! Call to schedule a visit and meet Mo!
Isaiah
Isaiah arrived at Safe Haven in Fall of 2021.
He had very little interaction with humans before he came and was skittish around humans.
We talk to him and are slowly working with him and he now understands he is safe here.
We sometimes never know our residents back grounds: so we always take time to let them get to know us.
