ABOUT :

Lil Llama was rescued by a good samaritan from a situation of severe neglect. He had spent most of his life living on a concrete floor, without access to enrichment, care or veterinary services.

You may have noticed that Lil Llama has quite a particular look to him - that’s because he is missing his lower jaw, as well as all of his teeth. Our vets think this is likely due to bone resorption from severe dental disease that went untreated for far too long. He has a hard time picking up food, and can’t chew things, so he requires a softened food and some assistance when eating - it’s best if you hand feed him or help him by raising his plate or bowl for him. The good news is that other than his missing jaw this boy is totally healthy! He could gain a bit more weight, but is otherwise in good condition.

When Lil Llama first came to us, he was nervous about his new living situation. With time, he opened up and showed off his little personality. Lil Llama loves people - he will approach everyone on walks and ask for pets. In the home, he spends his days sleeping, eating, cuddling and then sleeping some more. He loves to follow his foster around in her household activities, and would love a future family where someone is mostly home or can take him with them during the day. After his life of neglect, Lil Llama has some separation anxiety - he has learnt the comfort of being with a loving family and doesn’t want to return to the life he had before! He is fine with cats and calm dogs, and likes children too, but prefers a calm home environment so older children would be ideal. He is quite content with his crate, and will sleep in it overnight if it is near his family’s bed. In the day, if the door is open, he will even willingly go in to take a nap!

WORDS FROM HIS FOSTER:

I quickly became attached to this little buddy. He's a fast learner and will love simply being around you, whether it’s napping in your lap while you work from home or keeping you company during dinner. He's caring, social and starting to enjoy life again. Take him to explore new places, let him enjoy the time to sniff around, introduce him to new toys, and let him have more than the recommended amount of treats. He truly deserves the best! He will be forever in my mind and I know he’ll bring so much joy to whoever is lucky enough to be his forever home.
