Southeast Llama Rescue is always willing to try to help you. SELR is also one of the few organizations that can be turned to in cases of aggression and other behavior problems. But there are other rescue resources and options that may be closer to your area. We hope that everyone who has a legitimate rescue option will contact us to be listed here. Please feel free to link our site to yours so that all llama owners, and the llamas, have an opportunity to be helped. Working together benefits llamas most of all.

    See their online news article and video at: Knoxnews.com

    Indian Creek Llama Sanctuary was formed to provide a permanent home for llamas generally considered to be "unadoptable" because of chronic medical conditions that require continuous care. We currently supply food, shelter, and medical care and treatment to 21 llamas and have room for several more. Of special interest to us is the care of animals with digestive problems that require special feeds and underdeveloped llamas typically diagnosed as "failure-to-thrive". In addition, we also offer support and help to new llama owners in the East Tennessee area. We will pick up llamas within a 150-mile radius of Knoxville, Tennessee. We receive occasional donations, but fund most of the Sanctuary's activities through our own personal resources. We are accordingly unable to buy llamas and must reserve our funds for use in caring and treating the animals permanently residing at Indian Creek.

    PO Box 411, Goshen MA 01032
    We aren't an organization, just a farm with lots of space for critters and a heartfelt need to help when we can. Services include providing a safe, long term home for llamas and other animals in need. We will do rehabilitation, but only with animals we own or who have been given to us. We do offer consultation for people who are experiencing problems with their llamas, horses, or other animals. We are a working farm of close to a thousand acres with a number of good useable barns and lots of pasture space. We currently have 75 llamas, eleven horses, an orphaned goat, chickens, guineas, dogs, cats, parrots, and a king snake. In the past 12 months we have taken in about 14 llamas in need of a home and several horses as well. This is a farm supported rescue operation. We receive no funding or donations, so are limited by our resources at the time of the request for assistance. Most of the animals who are adopted remain here for their lifetime. A few are placed in well screened and appropriate homes. In most cases we are able to offer transportation for the animals we adopt. It often depends upon distance. We employ two horse trailers and a utility van to transport.
