** Snohomish County organization rescues neglected llamas in Yakima County

In a significant act of animal welfare, nine llamas suffering from severe neglect were rescued in Yakima County by Pasado’s Safe Haven and the Olympic Peninsula Alpaca Rescue. This collaborative effort was initiated after reports of the animals’ dire condition prompted the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office to intervene. On March 21, the rescue teams discovered four llamas in critical health, requiring immediate medical attention for malnutrition and other injuries. Sadly, the recovery efforts also uncovered deceased llamas on the property, underscoring the extensive neglect they endured. The nonprofit organizations are committed to providing ongoing medical care and rehabilitation to the rescued llamas until they can find new, loving homes.

To support these efforts, an online fundraiser has been established, aiming to raise $7,500 for the care of the remaining llamas, including those that are pregnant. This initiative emphasizes the importance of community support in rescuing and rehabilitating abused animals, as Pasado’s Safe Haven continues its mission to address animal cruelty and advocate for the welfare of neglected animals.
