Brother Francis
Llama Rescue and Retirement

Brother Francis R & R is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to llama rescue and retirement. Our goal is to provide a quiet, comfortable home for the older llamas' final years. Llamas that retire here are not sold nor otherwise placed elsewhere. They are not bred, nor exhibited in any way. Our focus is the llama over 15 years that is unadoptable because of age and/or physical limitations.


Fuego 19 yr llama
Fuego is a 19 year old male with fused discs in his neck that require he kneel to graze. He also has broken down pasterns and a chronic skin allergy. Both Fuego and Abe have their own shelter and pasture. These two llamas were placed at Brother Francis by Llama RescueNet.
Abe 23 yr llama
Abe is a 23 year old male who arrived with Fuego and was down on all four pasterns. He had been picked on by another llama for most of his life, until adopted by a caring family. When they could no longer care for him, he came to Brother Francis.

llama
Toy is an 11 year female that had rickets when a cria which resulted in deformed legs and arthritis. She was placed by her owner, along with two sheep, who are also in retirement at Brother Francis.

Mishka llama
Mishka is a 20 year old male that was left behind when his owners sold their property. The new residents did not want him. He was rescued by Still Point Sanctuary who placed him with Brother Francis.

The brown llama Caffee was too uncontrollable to be adopted out and had been put out in a pasture and ignored. Unbeknownst to us she was pregnant when she arrived. Her cria was placed with StillPointe Sanctuary. Isabella, the white llama, was a younger llama that was rescued from a neglectful situation where she did not have adequate food, water, or shelter and was markedly underweight. She was accompanied by her cria which has since been transferred to Llama RescueNet.

Cherokee llama
Cherokee II is a 20 year old female that was running wild with a llama herd. After Llama RescueNet and friends gathered them up she was placed with us. She was underweight at placement.
