About us
We are a family of six living in beautiful Bend, Oregon. Our animal journey began in 2017 when we came across a remarkable rescue organization dedicated to re-homing alpacas in need. Intrigued by their mission, we reached out to them and ended up providing a loving home to 20 alpacas that had been rescued from a difficult situation. These incredible creatures captivated us, and we soon realized that we had the space and compassion to offer a forever home to more animals in need and we became an official non-profit in 2019.
Since welcoming that initial herd of alpacas, we have experienced tremendous growth, but we remain 100% family run. Our sanctuary now provides a safe haven for a total of 133 animals. While alpacas and llamas remain our specialty, we have also opened our doors to sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and cats.
We take in animals that have suffered abuse, abandonment, neglect, as well as animals whose owners have undergone significant life changes and can no longer care for them. Our sanctuary is home to special needs animals, and we have a sizable population of senior animals as well.
In addition to offering a forever home to animals in need, we extend assistance to the general public in various areas. We provide guidance on housing and feed recommendations, offer acute and ongoing medical care advise, facilitate adoption referrals, and provide support in managing herd/flock dynamics, among other services.
We are committed to education and support, catering to both adults and youth alike, and we are always delighted to offer help wherever and whenever we can.
Every day is an adventure with our animals, and we can’t imagine any other way of life!
